     Nancy's Pie Crust

Category   Desserts - Breads
Sub Category   None

Ingredients
2 1/1 cups all purpose flour
1 tsp salt
1 TBS sugar
1 stick unsalted butter
1/2 cup (4 oz) crisco
4 TBS water and 4 TBS vodka, mixed and in placed in freezer
 

Instructions
Mix flour, sugar and salt. Working quickly cut in butter and crisco until uniformly lumpy. Use your fingers to flatten many of the lumps. Remove your water/vodka from the freezer and sprinkle over the flour mixture evenly. Add at least 6 TBS and more if necessary. Work your dough as little as possible. Form into two balls, flatten slightly. Wrap in saran and allow to rest in fridge at least 2 hours and preferably 24 hours.
Roll out your crusts and allow them to rest for 1 hour in the fridge before filling.
The idea is to allow the dough to rest to unravel the glutens for a more tender crust. The vodka allows you to use more liquid for an easier roll-out while leaving your crust flakier than if you used all water. Don't ask me why it works. I guess it's science.
Use as the crust in your favorite pie recipe
