Simple Vegan Pastry


Hi there, my little sugar kittens, today I'm going to share a quick recipe - vegan pastry!
You can make this with only a few ingredients and use it for things like pies (savory) and quiche, or just about anything you would use a savory pastry for.

Okay, let's begin, shall we?

Simple Vegan Pastry 

Ingredients 


  • 2 1/2 cups of plain Wholemeal Flour (or you could use white flour)
  • 2 teaspoons of Sugar
  • 2 teaspoons of Salt
  • 130g of Vegan Butter (I use Nuttelex) 
  • 1/2 cup of cold, filtered Water
Put the dry ingredients together in a mixing bowl, then add the butter (I half melt mine before putting it in).
Mix it together, then add the water gradually, until you have a sticky, yet elastic dough. You may need more or less water, just use your best judgement. 
When you've got it to the texture that you want it, take it out of the mixing bowl and place it onto a lightly floured surface, then knead the mixture until it firms slightly.
Note: Don't knead for too long otherwise it will become tough and rubbery when you cook it. 

Keep in an airtight container in the fridge, for up to a week, or up to 6 months in the freezer.

Things To Do With Your Vegan Chocolate #2: Comforting Hot Chocolate

If you're looking for another way to use your Healthier Vegan Chocolate, then look no further!

Just make a simple hot chocolate with it.

Easy, right?

You'll need just three things:

  • Milk
  • Chocolate
  • Mug
;)

Measure the milk in your mug of choice, then place it in a saucepan with the chocolate (I used 40g) and stir until combined. 


You can sprinkle a little cacao powder on top too, if you like.
Now, sit back and enjoy your vegan hot chocolate.
xo.
