In a mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, salt, and sugar until evenly mixed.

Add the chilled butter cubes to the flour mixture.

Use a pastry cutter or fork to cut the butter into the flour until it resembles coarse crumbs.

Gradually add ice water, one tablespoon at a time, mixing until the dough starts to come together.

Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and gather it into a ball. Flatten it gently into a disc.

Wrap the disc in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.

Once chilled, roll it out on a floured surface to about 1/8-inch thickness.

Transfer the rolled-out dough to your pie dish and gently press it into the bottom and sides.

Trim any excess dough hanging over the edges and crimp as desired.
