Instructions

Pulse Ingredients. In the bowl of your food processor, pulse Better Batter flour original or better Batter bread flour and sugar until combined. Add 1/2 of the butter or margarine or shortening and pulse again until completely incorporated into the flour mixture (mixture will be like fine crumbs). Add the rest of the butter or vegan butter or shortening and pulse again until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs (about 20 pulses).

Combine Ingredients. In a measuring cup, combine water or vodka with the 2 eggs or egg substitute and beat until well combined. With the food processor running, slowly pour water mixture into the flour mixture until dough comes together – about 30 seconds to 1 minute. Stop the food processor – dough will be slightly sticky/crumbly.

Remove from food processor. Press dough together until it holds in a ball. Separate into two balls and lightly coat with flour.

Roll out on a floured surface and bake as per the recipe directions. For the best results, make sure you chill your pies before baking for good 90 minutes

Professional bakers tip I like to have this into a dry mix ready to go. I have all the dry ingredients in a large Ziploc bag in my freezer labeled pie crust/ pasty mix. When I'm ready to go, I throw it into my bowl on my food processor and go.
