Ingredients
1 1/4cupsall-purpose flour
1/4tspsalt
1tbspsugar
1/2cupcold dairy-free butter or dairy-free shortening(recommend Earth Balance or Nutiva)
3-6tbspice water
Instructions
Combine the flour, salt, and sugar in a large bowl. Stir until well combined.
Cut the dairy-free butter into chunks and add it to the bowl. Use a pastry cutter or knife to “cut” the dairy-free butter into the flour until you see mostly pea-sized pieces left.
Add ice water 1 tbsp at a time, mixing with a spoon or your fingers, until the dough comes together and is no longer crumbly. (Note – you don’t want it to be overly sticky either – you want it to come together without falling apart).
Flatten into a round disc and wrap in plastic wrap. Place in the refrigerator for 30 minutes.
After chilling, roll out dough on a well-floured surface. Place the dough in a pie dish and bake according to your favorite pie recipe.
Recipe Notes
Notes:
This recipe yields one single crust. If you’re making a double crust (i.e. top and bottom crust) recipe, be sure to double the recipe.
Don’t skimp on the flour when rolling out the dough. Dairy-free butter is softer than regular butter which means it sticks easier to the surface you’re rolling on.
