-OK, so this is a new thing (to me), use vodka in your pie crust. ​ If you just do the normal water in your pie crust recipe, then the water & flour form glucose making the crust tougher. ​ Crusty like bread. ​ So what you do is cut the water with vodka which does not combine with the flour forming glucose. ​ This makes fluffly pie dough.+And bring cup & eating paraphernalia ​(we may bring a few spares but otherwise you may have to just use your hands (not so good for coffee) )

-I use vodka in my pie crust - equal parts water and vodka - the vodka bakes off, but provides enough moisture to make the dough workable when you are rolling it out.\\ +Of course I just actually buy the premade and drink the vodka.
