Instructions

1
Combine the flour, powdered sugar, and salt in a food processor and pulse twice to mix. Add the cold cubed vegan butter and pulse 8–10 times until the mixture resembles coarse breadcrumbs with pea-sized pieces of butter remaining.
2
Add ice water 1 tablespoon at a time, pulsing after each addition, until the dough just comes together when pressed between your fingers — it should hold without crumbling but not feel wet or sticky. Turn the dough out, press it into a flat disc, wrap tightly, and refrigerate for 30 minutes.
