Ingredients For pastry: ========== 2 eggs 1 cup sour cream (regular or light) 2 sticks unsalted butter 1/4 tsp salt 1/3 tsp baking soda 1 tbsp white vinegar All-purpose flour enough to make soft dough For cream: ========== 1 1/2 quarts of whole milk 1 cup of milk (this is not a mistake) 1 1/2 cups white sugar 4 egg yolks 4 very full tbsp flour Pinch of salt 1 shot of vodka, brandy, or rum (Amaretto or Bailey's are also good) 1 lemon (zest only) Vanilla essence or vanilla powder to taste Pinch of nutmeg 1 1/2 sticks unsalted butter Directions Pastry: ------- Mix eggs, soft butter and sour cream together till they blend well. Add salt. In a table spoon, dissolve baking soda in vinegar - you will see "bubbles". When bubbling stops, add soda+vinegar to your mixture. Stir well. Start adding flour, cup-by-cup, make soft smooth dough. Don't knead it too much, just enough to make it smooth and "un-sticky". Split dough into 16 pieces, form little balls.
My name is Uli and I grew up in the kitchen. My Grandmother is the Queen of the kitchen and I can't remember one day passing when my parents didn't stand together and cook a big dinner for us. At the end of the day we would congregate around the table to talk and eat. I am always asked for my recipes so this is a good way to finally store and share them because honestly it is too much work writing the same recipes over for y'all. Salute
