Steps

1. Pie crust:
2. Combine flour, sugar and salt in a large bowl; add cubed butter; toss to coat. Dump mixture out onto a clean surface; use a rolling pin to roll butter into thin sheets, combining it with the flour. Use a bench scraper to scrape the rolling pin and to bring the mixture back into a pile. Continue until all butter is incorporated into the flour. Mixture will be very flaky. Return mixture to the bowl; place in the freezer for 15 minutes to chill the butter.
3. Remove mixture from freezer. Add buttermilk. Use a spoon and your hands to stir mixture until it comes together into a ball. If mixture is too dry, add water a tablespoon at a time. Divide dough in two; flatten into disks. Wrap each disk in plastic wrap; chill in refrigerator while making the filling.
