Preheat the oven to 375°F. Add flour, sugar, and salt to a food processor and pulse to combine.
Add the cold butter and pulse until the mixture looks like fine crumbs. Add the cold water, 1 tablespoon at a time, pulsing between each addition until the dough begins forming clumps.
Dump the mixture onto a clean surface and press together into a shaggy dough. Shape into a disc, wrap in plastic, and refrigerate for 20 minutes.
Roll into a 12-inch circle and transfer to a 9-inch pie pan. Fold extra dough under the edges and crimp as desired. Add parchment on top and fill with pie weights or dry beans.
Bake 25 minutes, then remove weights and parchment. Use a fork to poke the bottom and bake 10–15 more minutes until golden. Let cool completely.
