Instructions
Step 1: Combine the flour and salt
Combine the flour and salt in a large mixing bowl.
Step 2: Cut in the butter
Cut the cold butter into the flour mixture until the butter is broken into small pieces throughout the flour.

Add the cold water until the dough just comes together. Do not overwork the dough.
