This flaky, all-butter-style crust comes together with just flour, salt, a touch of sugar, and ice water, cut and chilled the classic way for maximum flakiness. Cutting the fat into the flour until pea-sized crumbs remain, then folding in ice water a tablespoon at a time, builds all those tender, shattery layers without any eggs ever entering the picture. The dough chills into a disk, rolls out into a clean 12-inch circle, and eases into the pie dish for crimped, bakery-worthy edges every time. Whether you're blind-baking for a custard filling or filling it raw for a fruit pie, this crust holds its shape and delivers that satisfying, buttery crackle in every bite. It's an easy, dependable base to keep in your Egg Free baking rotation, no fussy techniques required.

Whisk together the flour, salt, and sugar in a large mixing bowl until evenly combined.
Add the frozen vegan butter cubes to the flour mixture and cut them in with a pastry cutter or fork until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs with some pea-sized butter pieces still visible — those uneven pieces are what create flakiness.
