Ingredients 1 ¼ cups all-purpose flour ¼ teaspoon salt ½ cup butter, diced and then chilled ¼ cup ice cold water, or as needed
Directions Mix flour and salt in a large bowl. Cutting cooled, chopped butter with a pasty blender yields gritty crumbs.
Add 1 tablespoon of cold water at a time and stir with a spatula or your hands until the dough comes together; you may need less than 1/4 cup. Wrap dough in plastic and chill for 4 hours or overnight.
Roll cooled dough into an 11-inch circle on a thoroughly floured surface, adding flour to your rolling pin as needed.
