For a special holiday treat, try this pecan pie spiked with bourbon and enriched with chocolate. The dough recipe is unusual in several ways. It is prepared with slightly softened butter and cool water instead of cold butter and ice water. The dough is not chilled before it is rolled out and it contains a touch of vinegar. The pie pan is also greased and floured. This is a superior crust to most.
