Preparation
- In a bowl, combine all the dry ingredients, namely the kamut flour, the corn flour (bramata or fioretto, the same one used to prepare polenta), the whole cane sugar, a pinch of salt and the sifted cream of tartar. (alternatively, use the same dose of chemical yeast for sweets). Flavor with lemon zest.
- Mix all the dry ingredients and add a teaspoon of turmeric or a pinch of saffron.
Why add these spices?
In addition to giving the dough scent, spices such as turmeric and saffron are useful for giving an extra touch of color. The yellow of the turmeric will dye the vegan shortcrust pastry, as a valid substitute for the color given by the yolks present in the classic shortcrust pastry.- Now add the soy milk (or almond milk or rice milk) and the corn or soy oil. Mix all the ingredients until you get a compact ball.
- The pasta can be used immediately or it can be wrapped in a sheet of cling film and stored for 3-4 days in the fridge.
- Vegan shortcrust pastry is excellent for making pies or biscuits.

Vegan shortcrust pastry is an alternative pastry recipe to the traditional one. It is a very energetic preparation, whose calories are essentially supplied by carbohydrates; lipids have a fairly relevant function and proteins are of little significance. The fibers are abundant and cholesterol is absent.
The Vegan Shortcrust Pastry is a recipe that lends itself to food without animal-type ingredients; moreover, it can be useful in the diet against hypercholesterolemia if consumed in place of the traditional variant. There is no medium portion and its use is aimed at completing more complex recipes (eg tarts).
