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.

VODKA PIE CRUST DOUGH

This dough is a little difficult to work with, but it's worth the effort. A quality potato-based vodka eliminates any after taste in the finished pastry. It bakes up into absolutely the best-tasting pastry crust you will ever try!

Time 1h40m

Yield 16

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 ¼ cups salted butter
2 ½ cups all-purpose flour
3 tablespoons white sugar
½ teaspoon salt
¼ teaspoon baking powder
¼ cup water
¼ cup frozen vodka

Steps:

  • Cut butter into 1/2 tablespoon-sized chunks. Arrange on a plate and freeze until hard, about 20 minutes.
  • Sift flour into the bowl of a food processor. Add sugar, salt, and baking powder. Add 1/2 of the frozen butter pieces and mix until incorporated. Add the remaining butter pieces and pulse briefly until pea-sized chunks are visible; do not overmix.
  • Transfer dough to a mixing bowl and add ice water and vodka. Mix with a hand pastry blender just until a crumbly dough forms. Use your hands to compress the crumbs into a single ball of dough. Divide dough in half then roll each half into a balls wrap in plastic, and press flat into a disc. Refrigerate for at least 1 hour or up to 2 days.
  • To use: remove from the refrigerator and roll each dough between 2 sheets of waxed paper; dough will be fairly sticky. Bake as directed for any pie recipe you are following.

  • In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, combine the flour, salt, sugar and butter. On low speed cut the butter into the flour until you have some larger pieces but most of the butter has worked into the flour. You will notice that the flour will change color and be slightly darker.
  • Stop the mixer and pour the vodka over the top of the crust. Turn the mixer back on low and slowly pour the water over the crust. Mix on low until the flour has hydrated but a coheasive dough has not yet formed.
  • Turn out onto a countertop and press gently until a dough forms. It will be a little wet, but that is ok! Divide the dough in half. Press out into disks and wrap in plastic wrap.
  • Refrigerate until cold, at least 2 hours and up to 3 days. Alternatively you can freeze it for up to 2 months. Thaw it in the refrigerator before using. Make sure to keep it cold!
