SOUR CREAM TWISTS RECIPE - (4.5/5)



Sour Cream Twists Recipe - (4.5/5) image

Provided by polledl

Number Of Ingredients 9

2 envelopes dry yeast
1/2 cup lukewarm water
4 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon salt
1 cup (2 sticks) butter, softened
1 cup sour cream
2 large eggs, beaten
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 cup granulated sugar

Steps:

  • 1Dissolve yeast in lukewarm water in a small bowl. 2 Combine flour and salt in a large bowl and mix well. Cut in butter until mixture is crumbly. Stir in yeast mixture, sour cream, eggs and vanilla extract. Chill, covered, for 2 hours. 3 Divide dough in half. Roll each half into a 12 × 10-inch rectangle on a work surface. Sprinkle both sides of each rectangle with one-eighth of the granulated sugar. Fold each rectangle into a 10 × 4-inch rectangle. 4 Repeat the process (rolling the dough, sprinkling with sugar and folding in thirds) three times, using remaining sugar. 5 Preheat the oven to 350ºF. Lightly grease baking sheets. 6 Cut each rectangle into 12 (4-inch-long) strips. Shape into twists. Arrange on prepared baking sheets. Bake until lightly browned, about 20 to 25 minutes. Transfer to wire racks to cool.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality ingredients: The quality of your ingredients will greatly impact the taste of your sour cream twists. Use real sour cream, unsalted butter, and fresh eggs.
  • Chill the dough before baking: Chilling the dough will help it to be less sticky and easier to work with. It will also help the twists to hold their shape better in the oven.
  • Don't overwork the dough: Overworking the dough will make it tough. Mix the ingredients until they are just combined, then stop.
  • Roll the dough out evenly: Rolling the dough out evenly will help the twists to cook evenly. Use a rolling pin to roll the dough out to a thickness of about 1/8 inch.
  • Cut the dough into even strips: Cutting the dough into even strips will help the twists to bake evenly. Use a sharp knife to cut the dough into strips that are about 1/2 inch wide.
  • Twist the dough: To twist the dough, simply hold one end of a strip of dough in each hand and twist in opposite directions. Continue twisting until the dough is twisted all the way.
  • Bake the twists until they are golden brown: Bake the twists in a preheated oven at 375 degrees Fahrenheit for 10-12 minutes, or until they are golden brown.
  • Let the twists cool before serving: Let the twists cool for a few minutes before serving. This will help them to hold their shape.

Conclusion:

Sour cream twists are a delicious and easy-to-make snack or appetizer. They are perfect for parties or potlucks. With a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can make your own delicious sour cream twists at home. So what are you waiting for? Give this recipe a try today!
