Method
 

  1. Step 1: Combine Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, mix together the flour, salt, and sugar until well combined.
  2. Step 2: Incorporate Butter: Add the cold, cubed butter to the flour mixture. Use a pastry cutter or your fingers to mix until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
  3. Step 3: Add Ice Water: Gradually add ice water, 1 tablespoon at a time, mixing until the dough comes together. Be careful not to overwork the dough.
  4. Step 4: Chill the Dough: Divide the dough in half, shape each half into a disc, wrap them in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 1 hour. This helps to firm up the butter and makes rolling easier.
