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