Ingredients

2 cups all-purpose flour 

3/4 teaspoon salt 

6 ounces (1 1/2 sticks) cold unsalted butter, cut into small pieces 

3 tablespoons ice water

Preparation

Pulse flour and salt in a food processor until combined. Add butter; process until mixture resembles coarse meal, about 10 seconds. With the machine running, add water in a slow, steady stream until mixture just begins to hold together.

Shape dough into a disk, wrap in plastic, and refrigerate until firm, 1 hour or up to 2 days.
