Not long. For tender, flaky crust, one key is to mix as little as possible.
The other key to flaky crust is how you mix. You need tiny bits of fat suspended in the flour so that when you roll it out, the bits of fat get squashed flat and provide the separation between the layers of flour that gives the effect of flakiness. The best way to achieve this is to use frozen fat and use a food processor to cut up the fat into the flour. Then you moisten it with ice cold liquid and then refrigerate it to let the liquid completely permeate the dough. Finally, you bring the dough to room temperature and roll it out.
