Recipe instructions

Step 1

Step 1
How to make dough with sour cream for pies? Prepare your food. Take natural, high-quality, high-fat sour cream and butter, without adding vegetable fats. Be sure to remove them from the refrigerator in advance so that the butter softens well and the sour cream warms up. If you are preparing pies with a sweet filling, it is better to add a little sugar to the dough.

Step 2

Step 2
Take a large bowl, put butter and sour cream in it, mix them well. You can use a regular fork; there is no need to take out the mixer. Due to the fact that the oil is soft, this will not be difficult at all.

Step 3

Step 3
Sift flour into dairy products. This will not only remove possible debris, but also saturate the flour with oxygen. This will make the dough more airy and soft. Do not add all the flour at once; you may need more or less of it than stated in the recipe.

Step 4

Step 4
Knead the dough first with a spoon, then continue kneading with your hands. Decide as you go whether you need to add more flour. This will depend on the consistency of the dough. It should become not very cool and not sticky to your hands. This will happen quite quickly as the dough contains a large amount of oil.

Step 5

Step 5
Wrap the dough in cling film 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 the dairy products, gluten will develop in it, and the dough will become more pliable and elastic. After this, you can form pies with any filling.
