Ingredients

• All-purpose flour - 200 grams
• Coconut oil - 100 grams, solid
• Powdered sugar - 80 grams
• Vanilla extract - 1 teaspoon
• Salt - 1/4 teaspoon
• Cold water - 2 tablespoons

Steps

1. Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F).
2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour and powdered sugar.
3. Add the solid coconut oil to the flour mixture and use your fingers or a pastry cutter to blend until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
4. Stir in the vanilla extract and salt, then gradually add cold water, one tablespoon at a time, mixing until the dough comes together.
5. Shape the dough into a ball, wrap in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for 30 minutes.
6. On a lightly floured surface, roll out the chilled dough to about 5mm thickness.
7. Transfer the rolled dough into a tart or pie pan, trimming any excess from the edges.
8. Prick the bottom of the dough with a fork to prevent bubbling during baking.
9. Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes or until lightly golden.
10. Remove from the oven and let cool before filling with your choice of fruit or jam.
