Instructions
- 1
Make the crust: Whisk together the flour, 1 tbsp sugar, and 1/2 tsp salt in a large mixing bowl. Add the cold cubed vegan butter and cut it into the flour using a food processor or pastry cutter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs with some pea-sized pieces remaining.

Drizzle in 3 tbsp of ice water and mix until the dough just comes together — it should hold when pressed but not feel wet or sticky. Add the remaining 1 tbsp water only if needed. Shape the dough into a disk, wrap tightly, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
