Steps:
- 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.
SOUR CREAM PASTRY DOUGH
Steps:
- Cut butter into 1/2-inch cubes.
- To blend by hand:
- In a bowl with your fingertips or a pastry blender blend together flour, butter, and salt until most of mixture resembles coarse meal with remainder in small (roughly pea-size) lumps. Stir in sour cream with a fork just until incorporated. Drizzle 4 tablespoons ice water over mixture and gently stir just until incorporated. Test mixture by gently squeezing a small handful: When it has proper texture it should hold together without crumbling apart. If necessary, add enough remaining water, 1 tablespoon at a time, stirring until incorporated and testing, to give mixture proper texture. (If you overwork mixture or add too much water, pastry will be tough.)
- To blend in a food processor:
- In a food processor pulse together flour, butter, and salt until most of mixture resembles coarse meal with remainder in small (roughly pea-size) lumps. Add sour cream and pulse just until incorporated. Drizzle 4 tablespoons water over mixture and pulse just until incorporated. Test mixture by gently squeezing a small handful: When it has proper texture it should hold together without crumbling apart. If necessary, add enough remaining water, 1 tablespoon at a time, pulsing until incorporated and testing, to give mixture proper texture. (If you overwork mixture or add too much water, pastry will be tough.)
- To form dough after blending by either method:
- Turn mixture out onto a work surface and divide into 4 portions. With heel of hand smear each portion once in a forward motion to help distribute fat. Gather dough together and form it, rotating it on work surface, into a disk. Chill dough, wrapped in plastic wrap, until firm, at least 1 hour, and up to 1 day.
SOUR CREAM PASTRY DOUGH
Steps:
- Combine flour, salt and sugar in food processor and pulse a few times to mix. Cut cold butter into 1/2-inch cubes. Distribute the butter cubes over the flour mixture and put the entire work bowl in the freezer to chill for about 20-30 minutes. Chill about a half cup of water with ice cubes. Combine sour cream, lemon juice, and 2 Tbsp ice water in a pyrex measuring cup. Remove work bowl from freezer and return to processor. Lightly pulse butter and flour together several times until butter forms a very coarse meal with large, pea-sized pieces left intact. Add the sour cream mixture and pulse briefly until dough just comes together. If dough is still too dry and doesn't cohere when squeezed together, then pulse in remaining 1-2 tablespoons of ice water to moisten. Turn dough out onto work surface and form into a disk. Wrap dough in a zip-top bag, wax paper or plastic wrap and put in refrigerator to rest for at least 1 hour or up to 2 days. When ready to use, roll out and form dough according to application. Brush surface lightly with some egg-wash and bake pastry at 400 degrees for about 30 minutes or until golden brown.

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.

- Bake the pastry at a high temperature: This will help to create a crispy crust.
