Instructions

Make the crust: Whisk together the flour and salt in a large mixing bowl. Add the cold butter cubes and work them into the flour using your fingertips or a pastry cutter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs with some pea-sized butter pieces remaining. Drizzle in 3 tbsp of ice water and stir with a fork until the dough just comes together; add the remaining 1 tbsp water only if the dough is still crumbly. Shape into a disk, wrap tightly, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.

On a lightly floured surface, roll the chilled dough into a 12-inch round about 1/8 inch thick. Drape it over the rolling pin and transfer it into a 9-inch pie dish, pressing gently into the bottom and sides. Trim the overhang to about 1/2 inch, fold it under, and crimp the edge. Refrigerate the shell for 15 minutes while you preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
