Step cooking
- We take out the butter one hour before the kneading of the dough from the refrigerator and let it melt. You can hold it in the microwave for a few seconds to let it melt. Instead of butter, you can use margarine, but this negatively affects the taste of the finished product.
- Sift 500 g of premium white flour into a bowl. Experts recommend sifting flour at least twice if you want the finished flour products to be airy, soft.
- We make a hole in the flour and put the butter, one glass of sugar, one teaspoon of baking powder, a bag of vanilla sugar and mix. Instead of baking powder, you can add a teaspoon of soda, slaked with vinegar.
- Add two tablespoons of sour cream, two eggs and knead the dough. If you want the finished products from this dough to be softer, you can add only one egg.
- The finished dough is soft, sticks to your hands. We form a ball out of it, put it in a bowl, cover with cling film and put it in the refrigerator for two hours. The dough is ready to use. From it you can make cake cakes, cookies, pie, tartlets.
