Mix the flour and salt in a bowl and rub in the chilled butter until the mixture resembles breadcrumbs.

Gradually add water to the mixture to form a dough.

Roll the dough into a rectangle on a floured surface.

Grate half the frozen butter over the bottom two-thirds of the dough and fold into thirds like a letter.

Turn the dough 90 degrees, roll it out again, and repeat the grating and folding process with the remaining butter.

Wrap the dough in cling film and chill in the fridge for 30 minutes before using.
