• Vegan butter - 75 grams
• Cold water - 3 tablespoons
• Firm tofu - 200 grams
• Nutritional yeast - 2 tablespoons
• Turmeric powder - 1/2 teaspoon
• Garlic powder - 1/2 teaspoon
• Onion powder - 1/2 teaspoon

Steps

1. Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F).
2. In a mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour and vegan butter, then mix until crumbly.
3. Add cold water, one tablespoon at a time, mixing until a dough forms. Wrap in plastic wrap and refrigerate for 30 minutes.
4. In a blender, combine the firm tofu, nutritional yeast, turmeric, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper. Blend until smooth and creamy.
