Maggie Beer's Sour Cream Pastry



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.

  1. I 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?

    1. I 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.

  6. Hey just wanted to give you a quick heads up and let
    you know a few of the pictures aren't loading properly. I'm not sure why but I think its a linking
    issue. I've tried it in two different web browsers and both show the same outcome.
