If you are a fan of Maggie Beer, you should be quite familiar with her sour cream pastry. This is a super easy pastry to make and that is coming from a non baker like me. Please come back tomorrow for our Christmas lunch 2011 part 4 to find out what I prepared using this delicious short pastry!
recipe from Maggie's Table by Maggie Beer
you'll need;
200g chilled unsalted butter, diced
250g of plain flour
125ml of sour cream
Pulse butter with flour in a food processor until the mixture resembles breadcrumbs.
Add sour cream and continue to pulse until the dough starts to incorporate into a ball.
Wrap the dough in cling film and refrigerate for 20 minutes. Roll pastry out until 3mm thick to for both sweet and savoury recipes.
Wonderful! I will try it!
ReplyDeletePlease do! :)
DeleteI noticed that the sour cream pictured, comes in a milk-style carton. Here in the US, sour cream is quite thick and comes in a tub-style container. Can you substitute buttermilk in this recipe?
ReplyDeleteI am not sure if buttermilk will work. The sour cream here is quite thick too, just that this particular brand comes in a milk carton form.
