Instructions
- 1
Make the crust: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, 1 tbsp granulated sugar, and 1 tsp salt. Add the cold butter cubes and use your fingertips to work the butter into the flour until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs with some pea-sized pieces of butter still visible. Drizzle in ice water 1 tbsp at a time, stirring with a fork after each addition, until the dough just holds together when pinched — you will likely need 6–8 tbsp total. Do not overwork.

Divide the dough into two equal discs, wrap each in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
