Measurements#
I live in the US and cook with imperial measurement tools. However, I’ve found great success in utilizing metric grams in place of imperial cups, ounces, pounds, and so forth. A handy kitchen scale makes measuring ingredients fast, simple, accurate, and reproducible. Some imperial measurements remain in my recipes (ex: one 15 ounce can) mainly because it makes for easy shopping for and cooking with prepackaged goods sold in the US.

This is a very simple pie crust recipe that comes together quickly. The crust is tender and flaky due to the use of vodka (which does not contribute to gluten formation) and plenty of cold butter. It is important to not overwork the dough; the goal is a rough/shaggy looking crust with large chunks of butter throughout. The crust can be used for both sweet (add the sugar as directed) and savory pies (omit sugar)....
