Sour cream dough for pies

Step-by-step cooking

1. Step 1:

   

   How to make dough on sour cream for pies? Prepare the products. Sour cream and butter take natural, high-quality, high fat content, without the addition of vegetable fats. Be sure to take them out of the refrigerator in advance so that the butter softens well and the sour cream warms up. If you are going to cook pies with a sweet filling, then it is better to add a little sugar to the dough.

2. Step 2:

   

   Take a large bowl, put butter and sour cream in it, mix them well. You can use a regular fork, it is not necessary to get a mixer at all. Due to the fact that the oil is soft, it will not be difficult to do this at all.

3. Step 3:

   

   Sift flour to dairy products. This will not only remove possible debris, but also saturate the flour with oxygen. This will make the pastry from the dough more airy and soft. Do not pour all the flour at once, it may need more or less, unlike what is stated in the recipe.

5. Step 4:

   

   Knead the dough first with a spoon, then continue kneading with your hands. In the process, decide whether to add more flour. It will depend on the consistency of the dough. It should become not very steep and not sticky to the hands. This will happen quite quickly, since the dough contains a large amount of oil.

6. Step 5:

   

   Wrap the dough in plastic wrap or a bag and put it in the refrigerator for half an hour. During this time, the flour will finally absorb all the liquid contained in dairy products, gluten will develop in it, and the dough will become more pliable and elastic. After that, you can mold pies with any filling.
