1 tbsp dairy free butter, cut into small pieces

For the egg wash

1 large egg
1 tbsp water
1 tbsp coarse sugar (optional)

Instructions

1
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, 1 tbsp granulated sugar, and 1 tsp salt. Add the cold dairy free butter cubes and work them into the flour using a pastry cutter or your fingertips until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs with some pea-sized pieces of butter still visible.
2
Drizzle in ice water 1 tablespoon at a time, tossing with a fork after each addition, until the dough just holds together when pressed — it should not be sticky or wet. Divide the dough into two equal discs, wrap each in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 1 hour.
