Flakey Pie Crust Dough
Ingredients
- 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tsp. kosher salt
- 1 Tbs. granulated sugar
- 1/3 cup chilled lard
- 12 Tbs. chilled unsalted butter, 1" slices, divided use
- 1/4 cup chilled vodka
- 2-3 Tbs. ice water
Instructions
Place flour, salt, and sugar into food processor bowl; pulse a few times to combine. Add lard and 4 Tbs. butter to bowl and pulse until mixture is a fine meal. Add remaining 8 Tbs. butter and pulse until mixture has pea-size pieces.
Drizzle vodka and water over mixture and pulse just until dough comes together in a large chunk on one side of the food processor bowl.
Remove dough and divide in half. Shape each half into a disc and wrap tightly in plastic wrap; place into a freezer bag and seal. Dough can be frozen for up to six months.
