Ensure your butter and water are as cold as possible to prevent the gluten from over-developing, resulting in a tender, flaky crust. For an extra-flaky crust, try grating the frozen butter into the flour mixture using a box grater. If your kitchen is warm, consider chilling the flour mixture and mixing bowl before beginning. The dough can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days or frozen for up to 3 months. Thaw completely in the refrigerator before using.
