Step-by-Step Instructions: Crust
1️⃣ Make the Dough:
In a large bowl, whisk together flour, salt, and sugar. Add cold cubed butter and use a pastry cutter or your fingers to work it into the flour until the mixture looks like coarse crumbs.
2️⃣ Add Ice Water:
Sprinkle in the ice-cold water one tablespoon at a time, mixing gently with a fork after each addition. Stop when the dough just holds together when pressed (you might not need all the water).
3️⃣ Chill:
Form the dough into a flat disc, wrap in plastic wrap, and chill in the fridge for at least 30 minutes. This helps the butter firm back up and makes for a flakier crust.
