Red Bean Pastries

Here I'm using a food processor to mix the dough, but you can also simply place the ingredients in a mixing bowl and stir them together by hand with a spoon. Start by measuring into your bowl or processor: 2 cups flour, 1/4 tsp. salt, 1/3 cup softened coconut oil or butter, 1/2 tsp. vinegar, and just under 1 cup cold water (2 Tbsp. less than 1 cup). Make sure your coconut oil or butter is very soft (but not liquid) - otherwise it will be hard to mix it into the flour without over-handling the dough.
