Make the crust: Whisk together 1 1/4 cups flour and 1/2 tsp salt in a large mixing bowl. Add the cold butter cubes and work them in with a pastry cutter or your fingertips until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs with a few pea-sized pieces 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 needed — the dough should hold when pressed but not feel wet or sticky. Shape into a disk, wrap tightly, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
