Time 2h

Yield 16

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 cups butter, softened
3 cups white sugar
6 eggs, room temperature
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
3 cups all-purpose flour
¼ teaspoon baking soda
½ teaspoon salt
1 pinch ground mace
1 cup sour cream
1 tablespoon confectioners' sugar, or as needed

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease and flour a 9- or 10-inch fluted tube pan (such as Bundt®.
  • Beat butter and sugar with an electric mixer in a large bowl until light and fluffy and noticeably lighter in color. Add room-temperature eggs 1 at a time, allowing each egg to blend into the butter mixture before adding the next. Beat in vanilla with the last egg.
  • Mix together flour, baking soda, salt, and mace in a bowl. Add flour mixture to the butter-egg mixture alternately with sour cream, mixing until just incorporated. Transfer batter to the prepared pan and spread to smooth top.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted in the cake comes out clean, about 1 hour and 20 minutes. Cool for at least 10 minutes before inverting pan onto a cooling rack, and tapping out the cake. Dust with confectioners' sugar before serving.

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 30m

Yield Two pounds of dough

Number Of Ingredients 6

3 1/2 cups flour
Salt, if desired
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 cup butter, chilled and cut into small pieces
2 eggs
1 cup sour cream

Steps:

  • Put 3 1/4 cups of the flour, salt to taste, baking powder, butter, eggs and sour cream into the container of a food processor. Process until thoroughly blended.
  • If a food processor is not used, put the flour, salt to taste and baking powder in a mixing bowl. Add the butter and cut it with two knives or a pastry blender until the mixture looks like coarse cornmeal. Using a fork, add the eggs and thoroughly blend.
  • Scrape the mixture out onto a lightly floured board and knead as briefly as possible, using as little flour as possible to make a smooth and workable dough.
  • Shape the dough into a flat cake and wrap it in plastic wrap. Chill until ready to use.

Tips:

  • Use cold ingredients: This will help to keep the pastry light and flaky. Cold butter will also be easier to work with.
  • Work quickly: The longer you work the dough, the more the gluten will develop and the tougher the pastry will be. Handle the dough as little as possible.
  • Chill the dough before rolling it out: This will help to prevent the dough from sticking to the rolling pin and will also make it easier to work with.
  • Use a light touch when rolling out the dough: Don't press down too hard, or you will flatten the dough and make it tough.
  • Bake the pastry in a hot oven: This will help to create a crispy, golden crust.
  • Let the pastry cool completely before filling it: This will help to prevent the filling from making the pastry soggy.

Conclusion:

Sour cream pastry is a delicious and versatile pastry that can be used for a variety of sweet and savory dishes. It is easy to make and can be stored in the freezer for up to 2 months. With its light and flaky texture, sour cream pastry is sure to be a hit with your family and friends.
