SOUR CREAM PASTRY

Another old family recipe. Very easy to handle, this dough never gets tough, even if you re-roll it. It was the first I learned. Really good in savory pies. Hint: reroll scraps, cut into 2" squares, add a bit of jam, fold over and bake 10-12 minutes. UPDATE 7/10/2010 In response to a reviewer: For best results, you must sift the flour before measuring, chill the shortening well, use full fat sour cream and chill the dough as directed.

Time 15m

Yield 1 1/3 pounds

Number Of Ingredients 4

2 cups all-purpose flour
1/8 teaspoon salt
8 ounces unsalted butter, chilled and cut into 1/4 inch slices
5 ounces sour cream (you can use unflavored low-fat yogurt, pastry will be less tangy)

Steps:

  • Put the flour and salt in a 3 qt bowl, stir to blend.
  • Scatter butter slices over flour and cut in with a pastry blender until the mixture consists of particles that vary in size from small peas to bread crumbs (you can use a food processor for this step).
  • Stir in the sour cream with a fork.
  • The pastry will appear dry because the sour cream is thick and does not disburse easily.
  • With your hands, manipulate the dough into a ball.
  • Divide in half, wrap in plastic and refrigerate until cold and firm- at least 4 hours, and up to 3 days or freeze for up to 1 month.
