Ingredients
240 g butter, chilled
2 1/4 cups high-grade flour
2 tbsp sugar
1 cup sour cream
Method
STEP 1
To make the pastry, place the butter, flour and sugar in a food processor and whizz until the mixture resembles fine breadcrumbs.
If making by hand, cut butter into small cubes and use your fingertips to work into combined flour and sugar.
STEP 2
Add the sour cream and pulse or mix until the dough starts to come together into a ball.
If it is still crumbly and does not bind add a little cold water.
Form mixture into a log shape, wrap in baking paper and chill for at least 20 minutes before using.
