Sweet unleavened dough

Step-by-step cooking

1. Step 1:

   

   How to make sweet unleavened dough? Prepare the necessary ingredients. Sour cream is suitable for any fat content (10-20%). Instead of sour cream, you can take kefir or replace part of the sour cream with cream or milk. Remove the butter from the refrigerator in advance so that it softens at room temperature to a soft, plastic state. Take the flour of the highest grade.

2. Step 2:

   

   Mix flour with soda, sift through a sieve to saturate it with oxygen. Then the baking will turn out to be airy and will rise well when baking.

3. Step 3:

   

   In a convenient container, beat the egg with salt and sugar until smooth. You can use a whisk.

4. Step 4:

   

   Add sour cream, mix.

6. Step 5:

   

   Lay out the softened butter, mix well with a whisk.

7. Step 6:

   

   Pour in the flour sifted with soda. Mix the dough first with a spoon, then with your hands. Watch the consistency of the dough, if it is too thin, add a little more flour. But even if the dough sticks to your hands a little, it is better not to add more flour so that it is not tight.

8. Step 7:

   

   Knead the dough quickly. It should be soft, pliable, elastic. Why can't you knead unleavened pastry for a long time? Lactic acid in sour cream, interacting with soda, forms carbon dioxide, which evaporates during prolonged kneading. As a result, the baking will be dense and tight. Therefore, a quick batch is an important nuance for obtaining a successful test. Before forming the products, the dough must be cooled. Place it in the refrigerator for 1 hour.

   I baked a plum pie from this dough in the form of d = 22 cm. That's how it turned out in the cut. The dough is soft, very tasty. Have a good baking!
