1. With the flour, cut in the butter using your hands making the butter dime-sized pieces.
2. Add water a tablespoon at a time, you're trying to reach a good pie dough consistency, not sticky.
3. Roll or flatten out to about 1/8 of an inch thick and bake on a sheet pan at 350°F until golden brown. It doesn't have to be pretty it's going to get broken up into pieces anyway.
