Pogacsa (Hungarian Biscuits)

4 cups flour

1 tablespoon confectioners' sugar

2/3 cake compressed yeast

2 egg yolks

1 cup butter

Pinch of salt

Scant 1/2 cup sour cream

1 egg for glaze

Sift the flour and sugar. Add the remaining ingredients, and work together to form a smooth dough. Roll out and fold over, so that the dough is four layers thick. Rest for 20 minutes in a cold place. Repeat the process twice more.

Then roll out the pastry to a thickness of just under 1/4 inch, and score the surface. Cut into rounds. Place these on a floured baking pan, brush with beaten egg, and bake in a preheated medium oven for 30-40 minutes until golden.
