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. |
