The secret to this tender pie crust is the addition of vodka.\u00a0 Since alcohol doesn’t allow the formation of gluten as much as water it will help make a tender crust.\u00a0 It also uses a combination of butter and vegetable shortening so it will be nice and flaky and taste great!\u00a0<\/p>

This recipe will also make two crusts, so you can freeze one for later if you are only using one at a time.\u00a0<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

Ingredients<\/h3>\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

2 and 1\/2 cups AP flour<\/p>\n

1 teaspoon<\/p>\n

6 Tablespoons unsalted butter, chilled and cubed<\/p>\n

2\/3 cup shortening, chilled<\/p>\n

1\/2 cup cold water<\/p>\n

2 tablespoons vodka<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\r\n\t\t\t\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

\r\n\t\t\t\t\t

Instructions<\/h3>\r\n\t\t\t\t\t

Mix the flour and salt together in your food processor, or with a whisk in a bowl.<\/p>\n

Cut the butter and shortening into cubes, and add them to the flour mixture and blend until small pea sized flour balls are present.<\/p>\n

Slowly add in the water and vodka until a large dough ball forms.\u00a0 Then stop adding water and dump out the dough ball onto a floured work surface.<\/p>\n

Shape the ball into a smooth disc and cut it half, and wrap each half in plastic wrap.\u00a0 Then place the wrapped dough into the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes.<\/p>\n

To roll out your dough start by shaping it into a small disc and then starting rolling from the middle and push out and then back.\u00a0 Then rotate the ball a quarter turn and repeat rolling it out until it fits the size of crust you need.<\/p>\n

Notes<\/h3>\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

The vodka really helps to make a tender flaky crust, but you can leave it out if you prefer.\r\nYou can also freeze this dough once you have it wrapped for a few months with no issues as well.<\/p>\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\r\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\r\n\t<\/div>\r\n\t\t\t
