2 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon baking soda
8 tablespoons unsalted butter, cold
1/2 cup sour cream, plus extra for dipping

Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
In a food processor, pulse together flour, baking powder, salt and baking soda. Add butter and pulse until mixture resembles coarse meal. In a small bowl, mix sour cream and egg. Add to food processor, pulse until almost combined. Add chorizo and cheese and pulse until mixed (dough will look crumbly).
On a lightly floured surface, pat dough into a square about 3/4-inch thick. Using a sharp knife, cut into about 16 triangles and place on a lined baking sheet. Bake until golden, 12 to 14 minutes. Serve with a bowl of sour cream mixed with whole-grain mustard.

CHORIZO AND MANCHEGO PUFFS

Chorizo and Manchego Puffs image

Provided by Anne Burrell

Time 1h10m

Yield about 35 to 40 puffs

Number Of Ingredients 11

Ingredients

2 cups water
1 stick butter, cut into a few pieces
Pinch salt
2 cups all-purpose flour
8 eggs
1 1/4 cups chopped Spanish chorizo sausage
2 1/2 cups mascarpone
1 1/2 cups grated aged manchego cheese
1/4 cup finely chopped chives
1 1/2 teaspoons pimenton (Spanish paprika)
Kosher salt

Steps:

For the puffs: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
Place the water, butter, and salt in a large saucepan. Bring the mixture to a boil and stir until the butter melts. Stir in all the flour at once and stir with a wooden spoon. Stir and cook until a dough forms and pulls away from the sides of the pan, 2 to 3 minutes. The mixture will be in a tight ball and not stick to the sides or bottom of the pan.
Remove from the heat and transfer the dough to the bowl of a standing mixer and let cool for 3 or 4 minutes. With the mixer on low speed, add the eggs, 1 at a time, making sure the first egg is completely incorporated before continuing. Once all the eggs have been added and the mixture is smooth, turn off the mixer and remove the bowl.
Spoon half the dough into a pastry bag fitted with a round tip. Don't fill the bag completely. Twist the top of the bag so that the dough will not leak out. (To pipe out the dough, gently squeeze out the amount you want, then release.)
On a sheet tray lined with parchment paper, squeeze out 1-inch size dough balls, about 2 inches apart. Form more balls on another sheet pan, if needed.
Place in the oven and bake until they're golden and crispy, 20 to 25 minutes. Remove from the oven and let cool.
For the filling: In a food processor, pulse the chorizo until finely chopped, but not a paste. No large chunks. Transfer to a bowl, stir in the mascarpone, manchego, pimenton, and chives. Stir until well combined. Taste and add salt, if needed.
Place the filling in another pastry bag outfitted with a small straight tip. Poke a hole in the side of each puff with the pastry bag tip and gently fill each puff with the filling and serve.
