In a food processor, pulse together 1 ¼ cups of all-purpose flour, 1 tablespoon granulated sugar, and ¼ teaspoon salt.
Cut ½ cup of cold butter into small pieces. With the food processor running, add the butter a few pieces at a time.
Gradually add 2 tablespoons of cold water until the dough starts to form a ball. (If the dough is too dry, add more water, 1 tablespoon at a time, until it reaches the right consistency).
Form the dough into a disk, wrap it in plastic wrap, and chill in the fridge for 1 hour or overnight.
When ready to make the galette, remove the dough from the fridge and let it sit for about 30 minutes to soften slightly.
On a floured surface, roll the dough into a large circle, about 9 inches in diameter and ¼ inch thick. Transfer the dough to a parchment paper-lined baking sheet.
