In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour and salt.

Add the cold butter cubes to the flour mixture. Use a pastry cutter, fork, or your hands to blend the butter into the flour until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.

Gradually add ice water, one tablespoon at a time, while mixing until the dough comes together and can be formed into a ball. Be careful not to overwork the dough.
