Ingredients

8 servings

2 ½ cups all-purpose flour
1 tbsp granulated sugar
1 tsp fine salt
1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, cut into ½-inch cubes and chilled
Chef's tip
Use a stick or block-style dairy-free butter - not a soft tub spread - and swap one-for-one.
6–8 tbsp ice water

Instructions

1
Whisk together the flour, sugar, and salt in a large mixing bowl until evenly combined.
2
Add the chilled butter cubes to the flour mixture and work them in with a pastry cutter or your fingertips, pressing each cube flat and breaking it into smaller pieces, until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs with some pea-sized and almond-sized butter pieces still visible throughout — this uneven texture is what creates flaky layers.
