Instructions
- 1
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together 1 1/4 cups flour, 1 tbsp granulated sugar, and 1/4 tsp salt. 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 remaining.

Drizzle in 3 tbsp 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 in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
