Crust Preparation

Make the Tart Crust
In a large bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, and salt. Add the chilled and cubed butter to the flour mixture and use a pastry cutter or your fingers to blend until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.

Form the Dough
Add the ice water, one tablespoon at a time, mixing gently with a fork until the dough comes together. Do not overmix. Shape the dough into a disk, wrap in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.

Roll and Bake the Crust
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). On a lightly floured surface, roll out the chilled dough into a circle about 12 inches in diameter. Transfer to a 9-inch tart pan and press into the edges. Prick the bottom with a fork and line with parchment paper. Fill with pie weights or dried beans.
