Ingredients
    1 cup flour, plus
    1 tablespoon flour
    1 tablespoon sugar (optional, add in for a sweeter crust)

Preparation
    In a food processor, process flour, sugar (if using) and butter with on/off turns (about 2-3 seconds at a time) until the mixture begins to look like coarse oatmeal.
    Combine the ginger ale with vinegar, and add through feed tube while machine is running; process just until the dough begins to gather in a mass around the blades (about 8-10 seconds, do not overprocess!).
    Dump the dough onto the counter.
    Gather up all the dough then shape into a flat disc.
    Wrap disc in plastic wrap and chill in fridge for a minimum of 30 minutes or up to overnight.
