Chill the butter and water for at least 10 minutes.
In a large bowl, whisk the flour and salt.
Add cold butter cubes and cut into the flour using a pastry cutter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
Add 3 tablespoons ice water, stirring gently with a fork. Add more water, 1 teaspoon at a time, until dough comes together.
Shape the dough into a ball, flatten it into a 1-inch thick disc, wrap in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for 30 minutes.
Roll out the dough on a lightly floured surface into a 12-inch circle.
Transfer dough to a 9-inch pie pan, pressing gently to remove air pockets. Trim and crimp the edges.
Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Line the crust with parchment paper and fill with pie weights or dried beans.
Bake for 15 minutes. Remove weights and parchment, then bake for another 10-12 minutes until golden brown.
Cool crust completely before adding filling.
