      - 1 cup (240g) vegan butter, chilled and cut into small cubes
      - 1/2 teaspoon salt
      - 1/2 to 3/4 cup (120-180ml) ice-cold water

      How to make homemade dairy free puff pastry Instructions:

      1. In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour and salt.
      2. Add the chilled vegan butter cubes to the flour mixture. Using a pastry cutter or your fingers, incorporate the butter into the flour until it resembles coarse crumbs.
      3. Gradually add the ice-cold water, starting with 1/2 cup. Mix the dough until it comes together. Add more water if needed, a little at a time, until the dough forms. Be careful not to over-mix.

      5. Fold the dough into thirds, like a letter. This completes one fold. Wrap the dough in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
      6. After chilling, place the dough on a floured surface and roll it out again into a long rectangle. Perform another fold, wrap in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for another 30 minutes.
