Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 cup vegan butter
- 4 tablespoons cold water
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 cup powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour and salt.
Add the cold vegan butter, cut into small cubes, to the flour mixture.
Using a pastry cutter or fork, cut the vegan butter into the flour until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
Slowly add the cold water, one tablespoon at a time, mixing gently until the dough comes together. You may need a little less or more water depending on the flour and butter.
Form the dough into a ball, wrap it in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for about 15 minutes to let it firm up.
Lightly flour a clean surface and roll out the dough to about 1/8-inch thickness.
Using a pastry cutter or knife, cut the dough into desired shapes or squares.
Place the cut pastry pieces onto the prepared baking sheet.
Bake in the preheated oven for about 15-20 minutes, or until pastries are golden brown and puffed.
Remove from the oven and allow to cool slightly on the baking sheet.
Meanwhile, in a small bowl, mix the powdered sugar with the vanilla extract until well combined.
Using a fine sieve, dust the slightly cooled pastries with the powdered sugar mixture.
Transfer the pastries to a wire rack to cool completely before serving or store in an airtight container for up to two days.
