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

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour and salt.

Step 3

Add the cold vegan butter, cut into small cubes, to the flour mixture.

Step 4

Using a pastry cutter or fork, cut the vegan butter into the flour until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.

Step 5

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.

Step 6

Form the dough into a ball, wrap it in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for about 15 minutes to let it firm up.

Step 7

Lightly flour a clean surface and roll out the dough to about 1/8-inch thickness.

Step 8

Using a pastry cutter or knife, cut the dough into desired shapes or squares.

Step 9

Place the cut pastry pieces onto the prepared baking sheet.

Step 10

Bake in the preheated oven for about 15-20 minutes, or until pastries are golden brown and puffed.

Step 11

Remove from the oven and allow to cool slightly on the baking sheet.

Step 12

Meanwhile, in a small bowl, mix the powdered sugar with the vanilla extract until well combined.

Step 13

Using a fine sieve, dust the slightly cooled pastries with the powdered sugar mixture.

Step 14

Transfer the pastries to a wire rack to cool completely before serving or store in an airtight container for up to two days.
