Instructions

put the flour and salt into a food processor or blender.

Give it a little mixy mixy to combine.

then put the butter in a couple chunks at a time, blending a little in between so that it forms granules. 

once all the butter is added, add a few tablespoons of water at a time until the dough takes shape. it should form a loose ball and hold its shape when you press a fork into it – but NOT soft enough that it sticks to your hands

take that bad boy out, wrap it in cling wrap, and pop it in the freezer! (if you’re making a pastry with crust topping, take a portion of the dough for that and chill it separately)

chill for AT LEAST an hour ideally two. can stay in the freezer for probably like a day i dunno it works
