Pastry making terrifies me mostly because I am so terrible at it. The pie crusts almost always turned out heavy and all patched up due to their being torn during the rolling out part. This gem of a recipe is a fabulous find. My crusts were so easy to roll out, and they were light and flaky. I cannot thank you enough for this one. Love, love the recipe. Thank you for sharing. Oh... since I used this to make a savoury pie, I only used 1 tsp of sugar, and that was enough for our taste.

Wow it really does work! It was so easy to roll and you couldn't smell or taste the vodka. I used it for Yummy Crunchy Caramel Apple Pie Yummy Crunchy Caramel Apple Pie for Thanksgiving and it was great. I did see this in Cook's Illustrated, but I'm grateful to you SusieQusie for posting it as I always know where Recipezaar is but don't always know where my magazines are! Thanks.

Wow, I am no longer ashamed of my pie crusts! Easy to roll out and very tender and flaky. That said, there is an outrageous amount of fat in this recipe. I think I will just adopt the vodka idea for my regular recipe that calls for 12 Tbsp total for a double crust.
