That trick my grandma swore by for pie crust actually worked

My grandma always said to use ice cold vodka instead of water for flaky pie crust. I thought she was just being dramatic, but I tried it last weekend on a apple pie for a church bake sale. The crust came out so light and flaky, three people asked me what my secret was. Has anyone else tried this, or am I just behind on the trend?

Vodka trick is legit. Try adding a splash of apple cider vinegar next time too.

Did your friend end up smelling like a salad after trying that?

Agree to disagree here I guess. I tried the vodka thing once and it just made my clothes smell like a dive bar. @mason_reed47 youre probably right, apple cider vinegar would just add a weird sweet and sour note on top of that.
