Sour Cream Pastry image

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.

I was a little hesitant to try this recipe because I'm not a big fan of sour cream, but I'm so glad I did. The crust was amazing! It was flaky and flavorful, and it paired perfectly with my apple filling.

I have been looking for a foolproof pie crust recipe for years, and I finally found it with this sour cream pastry. The crust was flaky and tender, and it held up perfectly to my fruit filling. I will definitely be making this crust again and again!
