Butter, Vanilla and Vodka Pie Crust
This is my take on a popular Vodka Pie Crust—it contains all butter and a splash of vanilla for flavor, and vodka to make it tender and flaky. This crust is very easy to work with and comes together in a flash using a food processor. It’s perfect for any sweet pie recipe, but it can be adjusted for savory pies as well—just omit the sugar and replace the vanilla extract with an equal amount of vodka.
