Vegan Lemon Pie

Recipe for Pastry Dough (makes one pie)

• 2 ¼ cup white pastry flour
• 1 cup vegan margarine
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 tablespoon sugar
• 1/3 cup chilled water

Cut your margarine into cubes and freeze your margarine for one hour.

In a separate bowl, combine your dry ingredients: 2 ¼ cup of white pastry flour, 1 teaspoon of salt, 1 tablespoon sugar, whisk.

‘Cut in’ your vegan margarine + flour mix with a fork or pastry cutter (‘cutting in’ means to combine together without getting the heat from your fingers into the margarine). You want to make sure your flour, margarine + tools are all cool when you do this process. This creates a flaky crust.

Once you’ve cut in the flour + margarine, add 1/3 cup of cold chilled water to the mix and knead the dough slightly with your fork to incorporate the water.

On a clean surface, lay out your flour and roll your dough up into a big ball. Shrink wrap and throw it in the freezer for 30 minutes to an hour.

Recipe for Lemon Filling:

• 1 ¼ cup sugar
• ½ cup corn starch or corn flour
• ¼ teaspoon agar
• ¼ teaspoon salt
• 1 ¼ 4 cup milk (coconut, soy, rice or almond milk)
• 1 cup water
• ¾ cup lemon juice
• 1 ½ tablespoons lemon zest

Add to sauce pan and bring to boil and whisk for 4-5 minutes, it will turn into a pudding like mixture and when you can’t stir it anymore, it’s ready to go in the pie crust, then cool for an hour or two.
