This vodka pie crust is easier to roll out than a normal pie crust. It's very important that the ingredients are cold since this is what helps produce a flaky crust. This recipe is for an unsweetened pie crust. Just add sugar if you would like a sweetened crust.

Ingredients

  • ½ cups unbleached all-purpose flour: 2 piece
  • salt: 1 tsp
  • unsalted butter, cut into small cubes: 0.75 cup (cold)
  • chilled solid vegetable shortening: 0.5 cup (cut into cubes)
  • chilled vodka: 0.25 cup
  • water: 0.25 cup (cold)
