Ingredients
3 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1 teaspoon salt
2 sticks (1 cup) unsalted butter, small cubes
1/2 cup cold water
Directions
In a large bowl, add all of the dry ingredients and whisk to combine.
Using a pastry cutter, food processor, or your fingers, add the cubed butter and begin to work it into the dough. Do this until the flour mixture has become a sandy texture and the butter roughly the size of peas.
To add the water, make a well in the center of the flour and butter mixture and add in 2 tablespoons at a time. To avoid over-mixing and developing a tough dough, only mix using your hands or a food processor (if using the food processor, only a few pulses at a time). Continue mixing in the water until it has JUST combined into a dough. Do not over mix.
Wrap dough in plastic wrap to chill for up to 30 minutes in the fridge before rolling out.
