Ingredients
Oops! Something went wrong. Our team is working on it.
2 ½ cups unbleached all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon salt
¾ cup cold unsalted butter, cut into small cubes
½ cup chilled solid vegetable shortening, cut into cubes
¼ cup chilled vodka
¼ cup cold water
Directions
Whisk flour and salt together in a mixing bowl.
Cut cold butter and then shortening into flour mixture with a knife or pastry blender until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
Sprinkle vodka and water over the top of flour mixture; mix ingredients together to form a tacky dough. Divide dough into 2 halves; flatten each half into a disk, wrap in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for 1 hour to 2 days.
When you are ready to make your pie, remove dough from the refrigerator and roll out each piece from the middle to the edge. Bake according to the pie recipe directions.
