FOOLPROOF PIE DOUGH (WITH VODKA!?)



Foolproof Pie Dough (With Vodka!?) image

Categories     Dessert

Time 55m

Yield 1 pie, 8-10 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 7

2 1/2 cups unbleached all-purpose flour (12 1/2 ounces)
1 teaspoon table salt
2 tablespoons sugar
12 tablespoons cold unsalted butter, cut into 1/4-inch slices (1 1/2 sticks)
1/2 cup chilled vegetable shortening, cut into 4 pieces
1/4 cup vodka, cold
1/4 cup cold water

Steps:

  • Process 1 1/2 cups flour, salt, and sugar in food processor until combined, about 2 one-second pulses. Add butter and shortening and process until homogenous dough just starts to collect in uneven clumps, about 15 seconds (dough will resemble cottage cheese curds and there should be no uncoated flour). Scrape bowl with rubber spatula and redistribute dough evenly around processor blade. Add remaining cup flour and pulse until mixture is evenly distributed around bowl and mass of dough has been broken up, 4 to 6 quick pulses. Empty mixture into medium bowl.
  • Sprinkle vodka and water over mixture. With rubber spatula, use folding motion to mix, pressing down on dough until dough is slightly tacky and sticks together. Divide dough into two even balls and flatten each into 4-inch disk. Wrap each in plastic wrap and refrigerate at least 45 minutes or up to 2 days.

VODKA PIE DOUGH



Vodka Pie Dough image

We use vodka in this pie dough to make it extra flaky and tender. (Don't worry, the booze cooks off and leaves no taste behind.)

Provided by Food Network Kitchen

Time 1h10m

Yield dough for two 9-inch pies or 1 double-crust pie

Number Of Ingredients 7

2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1/3 cup lard or vegetable shortening
1 tablespoon sugar
1 teaspoon fine salt
1 1/2 sticks (12 tablespoons) cold unsalted butter, cut into small pieces
1/4 cup vodka
3 to 4 tablespoons ice-cold water

Steps:

  • Pulse the flour, lard, sugar, salt and 4 tablespoons of the butter in a food processor until it has the consistency of a fine meal. Add the remaining 8 tablespoons butter, and pulse until you have pea-sized pieces. Sprinkle the vodka and water over the flour, and pulse until the dough just comes together. Evenly divide the dough between 2 pieces of plastic wrap, and gently pat each into a round. Wrap each round tightly and refrigerate until firm, about 1 hour and up to overnight.

EASY VODKA PIE CRUST



Easy Vodka Pie Crust image

Easier to roll out than normal pie crust, but still with a flaky crust. It is VERY important that the ingredients be cold. This is what helps produce a flaky crust. This recipe is for an unsweetened pie crust. Just add sugar if you would like a sweetened crust.

FOOLPROOF PIE DOUGH



Foolproof Pie Dough image

Vodka is essential to the texture of the crust and imparts no flavor - do not substitute. This dough, which was developed by a test-kitchen team led by J. Kenji Lopez-Alt for "America's Test Kitchen," will be moister and more supple than most standard pie doughs and will require more flour to roll out (up to 1/4 cup).

Categories     dessert, side dish

Number Of Ingredients 7

2 1/2 cups unbleached all-purpose flour (12 1/2 ounces)

1/2 cup chilled solid vegetable shortening, cut into 4 pieces
