My pie crust making abilities are temperamental at best. I was happy with one recipe I was using but the last two times it's been more like cardboard.
This recipe is super easy. The addition of vodka for part of the moisture prevents gluten from forming. The dough is weird - like play dough - and very sticky. For best results, roll out between two sheets of well floured waxed paper.
This is the tenderest, flakiest crust I've ever made and it will be my go to recipe from now on.
