Crust
- 1.5 sticks cold, cubed unsalted butter (3/4 cup)

- Blend flour, sugar, salt, and butter with a pastry blender or in a food processor until crumbly.

- Add 2 tbsp cold water and mix with a fork to form a cohesive dough.
- Press dough into bottom of baking pan to form crust, and bake in oven for 20-25 minutes (until golden brown).
