Ingredients

1 teaspoon salt 

2 sticks (8 ounces) cold unsalted butter, cut into 1/2-inch pieces 

1/4 to 1/2 cup ice water 

Preparation

Pulse flour, salt, and butter in a food processor until mixture resembles coarse meal. With processor running, drizzle in water just until dough comes together.
