  • 1/2 cup (115g) Unsalted butter, cold & cubed
  • 1/2 tsp Fine salt
  • 1/2 tsp Granulated sugar
  • 3 to 5 tbsp Ice-cold water

Steps

  1. 1

    Whisk flour, salt, and sugar together in a cold bowl. Add cold cubed butter.

  2. 2

    Cut the butter into the flour using a pastry cutter or fingertips until pea-sized butter chunks remain throughout.
