Pie Crust Reminder

If you haven't tried this already, use iced vodka for the liquid in your pie crust instead of water. Water binds with gluten but alcohol doesn't. This makes the pie crust easier to work with and less likely to toughen up. You will be very surprised and pleased about how crisp and flaky your pie crust will be. I usually just put some ice cubes in a glass and measure a couple of tablespoons of vodka in then measure from there. Try it--you will like it.
