Went together quite well.
Chilling in the fridge to roll out and make a quiche.

ever done the vodka thing?


curious , , , asking for me....

 

[Sass Muffin]

Nope, but I've heard about the cold vodka method.
Apparently it makes for a better textured crust?

 

[ChowderMan]

theory is.....


it's a liquid, but only (about) 50% water.
water+flour=gluten
apparently alcohol does not make gluten. does the wet thing, cooks off, leaves the crust more tender.


not tried it on pie crust. btw, Tito makes a veddy nice vodka, if you're a fan....

The last time I drank vodka...

Lol

The crust pulled away from the pie plate a bit.
Took a sampling pinch off the side.
Nice and flaky.

I'll let this quiche rest, then slice and plate for the dinner thread.
