Pie crust:

- Cut up butter/coconut oil/vegan butter into very little chunks.
- Add the coconut oil/butter/vegan butter. Process or mix until the mixture becomes crumbly and everything is incorporated.
- While the processor is running, or while you are mixing, add the ice water 2 T at a time until it forms into a dough.
- Take out of the food processor or bowl and knead for about 20 seconds.
- Roll into a ball and chill for 30 – 60 minutes.
- After chilled, roll the dough out onto a lightly floured surface until it can fit into the correct sized pie pan.
- Put the pie in the fridge to cool while you make the filling.
Filling:
- Clean out the food processer to get the leftover residue of the dough.
- Add tofu, cornstarch, nutritional yeast, turmeric, onion powder, garlic powder, and salt into a food processer. Process until it becomes a pasty consistency.
- While the food processer is running, add the milk until it reaches a smooth and liquidy consistency. Set aside.

- Add the chopped vegetables. Saute until soft.
- Turn off the burner.
- Add tofu mixture into a hot pan.
- Mix until combined.
