1. Stage
Place butter and flour into freezer for 30 minutes before starting crust process. (You want them SUPER cold.)

In a large bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, and salt. (Alternately, you can do this in a food processor.) Add butter and, using your hands, mix together until pea-sized and some slightly larger pieces form. Add vinegar and then ice water, 1 tablespoon at a time, until dough starts to come together and is moist but not wet and sticky (test by squeezing some with your fingers). Mixture will be crumbly.

Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate until dough is very cold, at least 2 hours or up to overnight.
