In a large bowl, whisk together the flour and 1/2 tsp salt. 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 pieces of butter remaining.

Drizzle in 3 tbsp ice water and stir with a fork until the dough just comes together; add the remaining 1 tbsp water only if the dough looks dry and crumbly. Turn the dough out, press it into a flat disk, wrap tightly, and refrigerate for 30 minutes.
