1 tbsp organic cane sugar
Chef's tip
Use the same volume. Baking behavior varies by blend: some brown faster or stay softer, while others brown less. Follow the package's baking guidance and start checking a few minutes early.
½ tsp salt
1 cup (2 sticks) vegan butter, cold and cut into ½-inch cubes
4–6 tbsp ice water

For the filling

⅔ cup strawberry jam
1 tbsp cornstarch

For assembly

2 tbsp plant-based milk

For the glaze

1 cup powdered sugar, sifted
Chef's tip
Follow the package's conversion to powdered sugar. In frosting or glaze, add liquid gradually - replacements can absorb it differently.
2–3 tbsp plant-based milk
¼ tsp vanilla extract
2 tbsp rainbow sprinkles (optional)

Instructions

1
Whisk together the flour, sugar, and salt in a large mixing bowl. Add the cold vegan butter cubes and cut them into the flour using a pastry cutter or fork until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs with some pea-sized pieces of butter still visible.
2
Drizzle in 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. You may need between 4 and 6 tablespoons. Divide the dough in half, flatten each half into a disk, wrap tightly, and refrigerate for 30 minutes.
