Stir together the ground flaxseed and 6 tbsp water in a small bowl until combined. Set aside for 10 minutes, until the mixture thickens to a gel.

Combine the flour, 2 tbsp sugar, and 1/4 tsp 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 a few pea-sized pieces remaining. Drizzle in ice water 1 tbsp at a time, pulsing after each addition, until the dough just comes together when pressed between your fingers — it should hold without being sticky. Turn the dough out, press into a flat disk, wrap, and refrigerate for 30 minutes.
