Ingredients
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1/2 cup chilled butter
- 4-1/2 oz. soft cream cheese
Instructions
- Cut butter and cream cheese into flour and salt with pastry blender.
- When these ingredients are well blended, wrap the dough in foil and refrigerate for at least 12 hours.
- In readying for use, roll to 1/8-inch thickness, adding as little flour as possible.
- To use as tarts, form pastry over inverted muffin tins and bake at 450° for about 12 minutes.
- To use as turnovers, pat or roll it until thin. This is a matter of taste-about 1/4 inch for biscuit dough, 1/8 inch for Vienna pastry dough. Cut 3 x 3-inch squares, or cut into rounds. Place on each piece of dough as much filling as will fit. Moisten the edges, fold over and pinch together with a fork. Place the triangles or crescents in a pan. Brush lightly with: soft butter
- To use as wafers, roll and cut the dough into rounds or put it directly into a cookie press without rolling. Before baking, dot with sesame or poppy seed. Bake 8 to 10 minutes at 450°.
