Make the pastry: Whisk together the flour, 1 tbsp sugar, and 1/4 tsp salt in a large bowl. Add the chilled butter cubes and work them into the flour with your fingertips or a pastry cutter 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 is too dry to hold when pressed. Turn the dough out, press it into a flat disk, wrap in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
