1 1/3 c. sifted flour (important to sift)
1/2 c. butter (1 stick, do not use whipped)
1/2 tsp. salt
3 tbsp. cold water

Cut butter into sifted, measured flour and salt until it is coarse and mealy. Add water and mix with fork until all mixed and in a ball. Try not to handle too much. This toughens.
