Instructions

Make the crust: Whisk together the flour, 1 tbsp granulated sugar, and 1 tsp salt in a large bowl. Add the chilled butter cubes and work them into the flour using a pastry cutter or your fingertips until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs with some pea-sized butter pieces remaining.

Drizzle in ice water 1 tablespoon at a time, tossing with a fork after each addition, until the dough just holds together when you squeeze a small handful — it should not be wet or sticky. You will likely need 6–8 tablespoons total.
