I've tried a few different recipes for pie crusts over the years, and while none of them have been horrible, it wasn't until this year I got "WOW this crust is amazing." Jackpot.

Join the discussionI’m no spring chicken, stewing hen more like it; I’ve made a few crusts, but lately it doesn’t matter whether it’s all butter or butter lard, they’ve just not come out, epic shrinkage, mostly. This one, while still shrinking some, was a notable improvement. Nice flaky crust even after sitting with fruit filling. Flavorful as well. I used 100% vodka, my only amendment.
We agree with you! It is tough to find a good recipe that fits your preferences! We are so glad that you found this one up to par! Enjoy!
