Make the crust: Whisk together the flour, sugar, and salt in a large mixing bowl. Add the cold butter cubes and work them into the flour using your fingertips or a pastry cutter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs with a few pea-sized pieces of butter remaining.

Drizzle in 2 tbsp of ice water and stir with a fork until the dough just begins to come together, adding the remaining 1 tbsp water only if the dough looks dry and crumbly. Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface, press it into a flat disk, wrap tightly in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
