| Step | Description |
|---|---|
| 1 | Put the flour and salt in a 3-quart bowl, stir to blend. |
| 2 | Scatter butter slices over flour and cut in with a pastry blender until the mixture consists of particles that vary in size from small peas to breadcrumbs (you can use a food processor for this step). |
| 3 | Stir in the sour cream with a fork. The pastry will appear dry because the sour cream is thick and does not disperse easily. |
| 4 | With your hands, manipulate the dough into a ball. |
| 5 | Divide in half, wrap in plastic, and refrigerate until cold and firm- at least 4 hours, and up to 3 days or freeze for up to 1 month. |
