He Scatter butter cubes over flour and mix briefly with a fork or spatula to coat the butter with flour.

Aladdin Add remaining 1 cup of flour. Work butter and flour with the pastry blender until flour is evenly distributed. About 20 seconds. (Dough should look crumbly with pea-sized pieces).

Aladdin Sprinkle ice water over the mixture — start with 4 tablespoons and add from there. Using a rubber spatula, press the dough into itself.
