Description:

This recipe yields a darn good flaky pastry, and for an even flakier crust, you can use a combination of cake and pastry flour with all-purpose flour. The dough can also be frozen for later use, just make sure to thaw it overnight in the refrigerator. Feel free to substitute 7-Up or Fresca for the ginger ale if desired, but no diet sodas for this recipe!

Instructions:

1. Prepare Ingredients: In a food processor, combine the all-purpose flour, cake flour, and sugar (if using). Add the cold, cubed butter to the processor.

2. Process Ingredients: Pulse the mixture in the food processor using on/off turns, lasting about 2-3 seconds each, until the mixture resembles coarse oatmeal.

3. Add Liquid Ingredients: In a separate container, combine the ginger ale with vinegar. With the food processor running, gradually pour the liquid mixture through the feed tube.

4. Process Dough: Continue processing the dough just until it begins to gather in a mass around the blades, which should take about 8-10 seconds. Be careful not to overprocess the dough.

5. Form Dough: Transfer the dough onto a clean countertop. Gather up all the dough and shape it into a flat disc.

6. Chill Dough: Wrap the disc of dough in plastic wrap and refrigerate it for a minimum of 30 minutes, or up to overnight, to allow the flavors to meld and the dough to firm up.

7. Optional Freezing: If not using immediately, the dough can be frozen. Wrap it tightly in plastic wrap, then in foil, before placing it in the freezer.

8. Use as Desired: Once chilled or thawed, the dough is ready to be rolled out and used as the crust for your favorite pie recipe.

This flaky ginger ale processor pie pastry adds a unique twist to your baking repertoire, ensuring a deliciously crisp and flavorful crust for your pies every time!
