In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, 1 tbsp granulated sugar, and 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 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 will likely need 6–8 tablespoons total. Divide the dough into two equal discs, wrap each in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 1 hour.
