    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.

    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.
