Cook's Illustrated's Foolproof Pie Dough

I love this pie crust!!!!!!!!! I made some changes though... Since i'm not a big fan of shortening, i simply replaced the 1/2 cup shortening with 1/2 cup butter, used only 1/2 tsp salt and omitted the sugar. I think because of the extra water from the butter that replaces the shortening, I don't use the full amount of vodka/water mixture. Whatever vodka/water mixture i have left over, I simply store in the freezer. The sugar makes the crust brown too quickly and the full amount of salt made the crust way too salty for my taste. This dough is a joy to work with, almost like playdough. warning... the raw dough tastes awful. Thanks for this recipe with all my heart and soul!!!!!!!!!!!!!
