Pastry Dough

Method

Preparation and Baking

  1. 1

    Make the Dough

    In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, and salt. Cut in the butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Stir in the sour cream until a dough forms.

  2. 2

    Chill the Dough

    Wrap the dough in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1 hour to allow it to firm up.

  3. 3

    Roll and Cut

    Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). On a floured surface, roll out the dough into a circle about 1/4 inch thick. Cut the dough into triangles (like a pizza).

  4. 4

    Shape the Butterhorns

    Starting from the wide end of each triangle, roll the dough towards the point to form a crescent shape. Place the shaped butterhorns on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.

  5. 5

    Bake

    Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes or until golden brown. Remove from the oven and let cool slightly before serving.
