- 🧂 1 teaspoon salt
Fat
- 🧈 ¾ cup cold unsalted butter, cut into small cubes
- ½ cup chilled solid vegetable shortening, cut into cubes
Liquids

STEPS
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 the 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.

💡 Make sure all ingredients, especially the butter, shortening, and liquids, are cold to ensure a flaky crust.Do not overwork the dough as it may become tough instead of light and flaky.You can freeze the dough disks to use later; just thaw in the fridge before rolling out.For a sweetened crust, add 1-2 tablespoons of sugar to the flour and salt mixture.
