This is one of those all-time simple and tasty crust recipes. It's supposed to be rustic, so don't worry if it cracks while you're rolling it out. Just smoosh it back together and keep going.

1. Use cold butter straight from the refrigerator, dice, and return to the refrigerator while you work with remaining ingredients.

2. In a food processor combine flour, sugar, and salt and pulse with metal blade until ingredients are combined. Add the butter a little at a time and pulse until ingredients have formed into small balls, about the size of peas.

3. With motor running, pour ice water (without ice) through feed tube, then pulse until dough is just combined.

4. Remove dough, form into 2 balls, wrap and refrigerate for an hour. This dough can be made ahead of time and frozen. Simply defrost for an hour, then roll out and use.
