Make the Crust
In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, powdered sugar, and salt. Add the cold, diced butter and mix until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Gradually add ice water, one tablespoon at a time, mixing until the dough holds together. Form the dough into a disc, wrap in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
