Instructions

  1. Combine flour, optional sugar, and salt in a large bowl, then cut in cold butter until the mixture resembles coarse cornmeal with pea-sized butter pieces; alternatively, pulse in a food processor.

  2. Add 2 tablespoons of ice water, mixing until a dough forms, adding up to an additional tablespoon if it remains too dry.

  3. Transfer the dough to a floured surface, knead briefly into a ball.

  4. Form the dough into a 1/2-inch thick disk, wrap it in plastic, and chill for 30 minutes to three days.
