Whisk together the flour and salt in a large bowl. Add the cold butter cubes and work them in with a pastry cutter or your fingertips until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs with some pea-sized pieces of butter still visible.

Drizzle in 3 tbsp of ice water and stir with a fork until the dough just begins to come together; add the remaining 1 tbsp water only if the dough still looks dry and crumbly. Turn the dough out, press it into a flat disc, wrap it, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
