Ingredients

2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour 

1 teaspoon table salt 

1 teaspoon sugar 

1 cup chilled unsalted butter (2 sticks), cut into small pieces 

1/4 to 1/2 cup ice water 

Preparation

Place flour, salt, and sugar in the bowl of a food processor; pulse to combine, about 30 seconds.

Add butter; pulse until mixture resembles coarse meal. While pulsing, slowly pour in 1/4 to 1/2 cup ice water; process until dough begins to come together. Divide dough in half; shape into two disks. Wrap in plastic; chill at least 1 hour before using.
