Achieve a delicious and flaky vegan pie crust using coconut oil as a dairy-free alternative. This easy-to-follow recipe will ensure a scrumptious base for any pie filling of your choice.
In a food processor fitted with the S blade, combine 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon salt, and 1 tablespoon demerara sugar. Pulse to mix.
2
Add 1/2 cup solid coconut oil into the food processor and pulse until the mixture is crumbly and sticks together when squeezed.
3
Gradually pulse in 1/2 cup ice water until the dough comes together with some crumbs remaining for a flaky texture.
4
Turn the dough onto a clean, floured surface.
5
Shape the dough into a flat ball, and if not using immediately, wrap in plastic wrap, place in a freezer bag, and store in the refrigerator or freezer.
6
When ready to use, ensure the dough is soft enough to roll. Roll it into a large circle using a rolling pin, with enough size to cover your pie pan, and use extra flour to prevent sticking.
7
Gently lift the rolled dough onto your pie crust, fixing any small tears.
8
Crimp the edges of the dough for a decorative pattern, and refrigerate until you have the filling prepared and are ready to bake the pie.
