Prepare the Pie Crust:
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour and salt.
Add the cold butter cubes and, using a pastry cutter or your fingers, cut the butter into the flour until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
Gradually add the ice water, one tablespoon at a time, mixing until the dough comes together. Be careful not to overwork the dough.
Shape the dough into a disc, wrap it in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
Pre-bake the Crust:
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
On a lightly floured surface, roll out the chilled dough into a circle large enough to fit a 9-inch pie dish.
Carefully transfer the dough to the pie dish, pressing it into the bottom and sides. Trim any excess dough and crimp the edges if desired.
