Instructions

Whisk together the flour, 1 tbsp sugar, and 1 tsp salt in a large mixing bowl. Add the cold cubed vegan butter and cut it into the flour using a pastry cutter or fork until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs with some pea-sized pieces of butter still visible.

Drizzle in the ice water 1 tablespoon at a time, stirring with a fork after each addition, until the dough just comes together when pressed — it should hold without being sticky or wet. Divide the dough into two equal discs, wrap each in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
