1. Prepare the dough (make ahead): In a large bowl, combine flour and salt. Cut in butter until mixture resembles coarse crumbs, just until there remains small pea-sized butter chunks in the dough. Gently stir in 1 TB of ice cold water at a time, until mixture starts to hold together. It should be pliable enough to stick together when pinched, but not sticky. Work the dough sparingly, using either pastry cutter or cold fingers. The key is not to overwork the dough (avoid using food processor.) The little chunks of butter should still be visible.
2. Gently form 2 dough balls (1 slightly larger than the other) and wrap well in plastic. Refrigerate at least 1 hour (up to overnight.)
3. To make the pie:Preheat oven to 425F and place rack on lower middle position. Melt butter in a saucepan. Stir in flour to form a roux. Add water with dissolved cornstarch, white sugar, brown sugar, vanilla, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Bring to a boil, and immediately reduce to barely simmer. Keep sauce warm while you roll out the crust.
4. Roll the larger dough ball out to fit bottom/sides of 9-inch pie pan, with bit extra for edges. If dough is firm, you may need to roll it out twice. Place crust in bottom of pie pan. Press evenly into the bottom and up sides of the pan. Press down the edges. Roll the smaller dough ball to fit over top of 9-inch pie pan. Set aside.

1. Combine the flour, sugar (if using), and salt in a bowl. Add the cubed butter and toss to coat.
2. Dump the mixture out onto a clean surface and use a rolling pin to roll the 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 as necessary. Continue until all of the butter is incorporated into the flour. Mixture will be very flaky.
3. Return mixture to the bowl and place in the freezer for 10 minutes to chill the butter.
4. Remove from freezer and add ¼ cup of the ice cold water. Use a spoon and then your hands to stir the mixture until it comes together into a ball. If mixture is too dry, add additional water a tablespoon at a time. I usually end up needing somewhere between ⅓ and ½ cup but it varies each time.
