• 2 1/2 cups flour (not high-protein)
• 1/2 tsp salt
• 2 1/2 sticks butter, cold, diced into small cubes
• 1/2 cup cold water

Combine the flour and salt, quickly mix. Add butter, keep mixing. Don’t let the butter crumbles get too small. Add 1/2 cup of cold water, keep mixing. Put the dough on parchment paper, shape into a big puck. Chill for at least an hour. Makes enough for 2 pies.
