A good pie crust is necessary for any pie. It's the foundation for so many desserts from pies to pop tarts to berry tarts. The secret to this flaky crust? Cold vodka.
This pie crust is the perfect base for my recipe for gluten-free lemon meringue pie. Find that recipe HERE.
Ingredients
- Gluten-free flour (I like Cup4Cup)
- Pink Himalayan salt
- Cold butter, cubed
- Cold vodka
See recipe card for quantities.
Instructions
Pour the flour, salt, and ¼ of the cubed butter into the food processor. Pulse until crumbly.
Continue adding the butter until totally combined.
Slowly add the cold vodka one tablespoon at a time. The dough should form a ball. Once the dough forms a ball, stop adding the vodka.
Pat the dough into two disks on a floured surface. Wrap both in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least two hours.
After two hours, roll each disk out on a floured surface and use it for whatever you need!
