Step 1:
To prepare the chopped dough, prepare the necessary products for this: premium wheat flour, butter, ice water, a little salt and granulated sugar. This is a necessary minimum of products. If desired, sour cream or soft cottage cheese can be added to the dough, as in this case. Depending on the further purpose, a little more granulated sugar is added to the dough or the amount of salt is adjusted.
Step 2:
Sift flour into a large bowl, add fine salt and granulated sugar.
Step 3:
Add butter (use good butter, natural, high quality) and chop the dough into crumbs. You can do this in any way: by placing all the products in the bowl of the kitchen processor, grinding by hand, chopping with a knife, rolling out on the table with a rolling pin,... One way or another, a fine homogeneous crumb of flour and butter should turn out.
Step 4:
Put sour cream in the crumbs, mix. Now gradually adding ice water, knead the dough until a homogeneous structure is obtained. The finished dough should not stick to your hands. Form a ball from the resulting dough, wrap it in plastic wrap and send it to the refrigerator for 1 hour. The dough is ready for further use!

In most recipes, it is recommended to roll such or similar dough into a ball before putting it in the refrigerator. At one of the cooking classes, I liked the idea of forming not a ball, but a thick flattened flat cake or a washer. So the dough cools faster and, since in the future it will still be rolled out, it will be done a little easier and faster. I hope this idea will find application in your kitchen as well!
