Vodka Butter Pie Crust

Step 1

Place the all-purpose flour and granular sugar into your food processor. Pulse a few times so the flour and sugar becomes incorporated.

Step 2

Cut butter into 1/2 inch cubes. Place in food processor with the sugar and flour mixture. Pulse again for about 15 seconds or until the chunks of butter are broken down. The mixture should resembles sand.

Step 3

Using the feed tube, slowly pour in the vodka while your processor is running. Once the vodka is incorporated the mixture should be beginning to form. Add 1 tablespoon of water at a time until your dough comes together into a ball.

Step 4

Remove dough from food processor and form two even sized disks.

Step 5

Cover dough in plastic wrap and place in the refrigerator to chill for 1 to 2 hours or 30 minutes in the freezer.

Step 6

Remove from refrigerator or freezer.

Step 7

Lightly flour your surface, rolling pin, and dough.

Step 8
