    ["STEP 1: Combine the flour and the salt in the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment. If you don't have a stand mixer you can do this by hand, which is the method I used for a long time until I realized how much quicker it is when using the mixer. My favorite tool when I make this by hand is a bench scraper. It's how I keep the dough together and how I cut up the cubes of cold butter.\r\nAdd all the butter to the bowl at once and mix for 30 seconds on low speed. You want the butter to just start to break up and incorporate into the flour. Add the cold water and mix for 15 seconds. \r\nThis mix will not look like much of a dough and you may be cursing me for having got you into this mess but I assure you when you pull the puffed piece of dough out of the oven I will be your best friend.", "STEP 2: Roughly shape the crumbly \"dough\"" into a rectangle. Fold over the right third of the dough to the center. It will likely fall apart through the first three turns
