In medium-sized bowl, whisk the flour, sugar, and salt together. With a pastry cutter or a couple forks, cut in the butter until the mixture looks like coarse, pea-sized crumbs. Add the water and with a spatula or wooden spoon, stir until the flour is moistened. Gently knead the dough a few times on a lightly floured work surface until it all comes together, adding a bit more water as needed. Make sure you don’t overwork the dough. Shape it into a ball and then flatten it into a thick disk. Wrap it in plastic wrap and refrigerate it for at least 1 hour and up to 3 days (or freeze up to 3 months).
