Equipment

  • Measuring cups and spoons
  • Mixing bowl
  • Electric beaters
  • 8-inch square tin 20 cm
  • Parchment paper

Ingredients

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup vegan butter softened
  • ½ cup icing sugar

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C). Line an 8-inch (20 cm) square pan with two pieces of overlapping parchment paper.
  • Add all of the ingredients to a large mixing bowl and mix until just combined, using electric beaters on low speed.
    2 cups all-purpose flour, 1 cup vegan butter, ½ cup icing sugar
  • Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until lightly golden and fairly firm to the touch. Cool fully in the tin and slice into fingers once cool.
  • Alternatively, chill the dough for two hours and then roll it out to ½ inch thick. Cut into rounds and bake at 325°F (160°C) for about 13-15 minutes, or until lightly golden around the edges.

Notes

I find most vegan butter salty enough that you don't need to add salt to the dough.
