Whisk together the flour, 1 tbsp granulated sugar, and salt in a large mixing bowl. Add the cold 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, stirring with a fork after each addition, until the dough just comes together when pressed — it should hold without being sticky or wet. You may need anywhere from 6 to 8 tablespoons. Divide the dough in half, flatten each half into a disk, wrap tightly, and refrigerate for at least 1 hour.
