Instructions
For the Crust:
-
In a large bowl, mix together the flour, sugar, and salt. Add in the cubed butter and toss with a spatula to coat the butter in the flour.
-
Using a pastry cutter, work the butter into the flour until the mixture is a coarse meal. The butter should be about the size of peas.
-
Using a silicone spatula, slowly blend in just enough ice water to form moist clumps.
-
Pour the shaggy dough out onto a clean surface and knead it gently, until it comes together in a ball, adding more ice water only if absolutely needed.
