   For the crust: In a large bowl, whisk together flour and salt. Cut in the cold butter using a pastry blender or your fingertips until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs with some pea-sized pieces of butter remaining.

   💡 Consejos de Profesional: Keep butter cold for a flaky crust.

   Gradually add ice water, one tablespoon at a time, mixing until the dough just comes together. Form into a disc, wrap in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.

   💡 Consejos de Profesional: Blind baking the crust is optional but can prevent a soggy bottom.
