2 tbsp vegan butter
1 tsp turmeric powder (optional)

For serving

powdered sugar, for dusting (optional)
fresh lemon slices or zest, for garnish (optional)

Instructions

1
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, powdered sugar, and salt. Add the cold cubed vegan butter and use your fingertips to work it into the flour until the mixture resembles coarse, pea-sized crumbs.
2
Add ice water 1 tablespoon at a time, mixing with a fork after each addition, until the dough just comes together and holds when pressed — it should not be sticky or wet. Press the dough evenly into the bottom and up the sides of a 9-inch tart pan with a removable bottom, aiming for an even thickness of about 1/4 inch throughout.
