Combine first three ingredients until crumbly and about pea size. Add ice water and mix by hand until all dry ingredients have been incorporated. Mix should form a very stiff dough. Refrigerate for 10 minutes. Divide into 3 equal pieces, for 9-10" pie dishes. Roll out on floured work surface. Work dough as little as possible to prevent tough crust.
