Ingredients
  

  • 4 cups white flour
  • 2 teaspoons salt
  • 18 ounces cold butter
  • 1 cup cold water

Instructions
 

  • Combine flour and salt in a bowl.
  • Grate the butter with a cheese grater and toss into flour with your hands until well combined.
  • Add water in and stir with a fork, adding more water to make it come together if needed.
  • Transfer onto your counter and gently knead a few times to make it come together. Divide into three equal pieces whether by weighing or by sight. They should be about 1 pound each.
  • Take one ball and roll into a roughly 6"x 12" rectangle. Don't worry about it being super pretty but it helps in the ends are kinda square.
  • Fold it into thirds so you're folding it like a letter. Repeat with other two.
  • Put in a bag and refrigerate for 2 hours or up to 2 days.

Notes
