2. Make vegan egg in a small bowl, and set aside.
3. Preheat oven to 400. Take plate with coconut oil out of the freezer. Cut or break with your hands the solid flat oil into pea-kidney bean sized pieces. Add to dry ingredients bowl and mix with pastry blender, fork or fingers. *You want to keep the coconut oil hard and pea sized in the dough.
