Foolproof Pie Dough
Always trust Cook's Illustrated! :) Though... they do have a lot of pie crust recipes. This is the Foolproof pie crust recipe featured in the Strawberry-Rhubarb Pie. The vodka allows you to handle the dough more, and reduces pre-baking time.
This recipe makes 2 rounds of dough for a double crust pie - to make a single round, just halve everything. This recipe works best with a food processor - CI has a separate recipe for hand-made pie dough, but I like the dough from the Extra-flaky Pie Crust, or the Peach Hand Pies. |
Makes 2 dough rounds, enough for one 9" double crust pie
