Has anyone ever tried a Vodka pie crust? Years ago Cooks Illustrated published a scientific explanation of why it makes such a flaky crust, but I never got around to trying it:

I’ve used it. I don’t see any appreciable difference between using vodka or water. So now I drink the vodka while making pie crust.

I have. It makes a perfect, flaky crust!

I didn’t see the one in Cooks Illustrated, the one I saw was in Backwoods Home.
