Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 250 grams All-purpose flour
- 175 grams Unsalted butter (cold, cubed)
- 120 grams Sour cream
- 1 teaspoon Salt
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, whisk the all-purpose flour and salt together to combine.
Add the cold, cubed butter to the flour mixture. Using a pastry cutter or your fingertips, cut the butter into the flour until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs with pea-sized pieces of butter remaining.
Add the sour cream gradually to the flour-butter mixture. Using a fork or your hands, mix until the dough just comes together but is not sticky. Avoid overmixing to ensure a tender pastry.
Turn the dough out onto a clean work surface and gently press it together into a disc shape. Wrap the disc in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1 hour to allow the pastry to chill and rest.
Once chilled, remove the dough from the refrigerator. Lightly flour your work surface and rolling pin, and roll the pastry out to the desired thickness (approximately 3-4 mm). Use as needed for your pie or tart recipe.
Bake according to your specific recipe's instructions for fillings and crust.
