Recipe Introduction
This is a foolproof pastry that never gets tough no matter how you handle it. It is a dream to handle and tastes great. The sour cream yields a tender flaky pastry.
List of Ingredients
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
Recipe
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
