Updated on Nov 1, 2013
from an acquaintance at Gunderburger after going to Gays Mills I didn't use the food processor like it calls in the 1st 3 steps. Just used my pastry cutter. Bake according to pie directions.

How To Make vodka pie dough
-
Step 1Put 1 1/2 cups flour, salt and sugar in food processor until combined, about 2 one-second pulses. Add butter and shortening and process until homogenous dough just starts to collect uneven clumps, about 12 - 15 seconds. (dough will resemble cottage cheese curds.)
-
Step 2Scrape bowl with rubber spatula and redistribute dough evenly around blade.
-
Step 3Add remaining one cup flour and pulse until mixture is evenly distributed around bowl and mass of dough has been broken up. 4 to 6 quick pulses.
-
Step 4Empty mixture into medium bowl.
-
Step 5Combine vodka and water. Sprinkle over mixture
-
Step 6With rubber spatula or wooden spoon, use folding motion to mix, pressing down on dough until it is slightly tacky and sticks together.
-
Step 7Divide dough into two even balls, wrap in plastic wrap and flatten each into 4 in disk. Refrigerate at least 45 minutes or up to 2 days. Freezes very well.
