Ingredients

• 150 grams butter  (or margarine)
• 350 grams plain flour
• 1 tablespoon sour cream (Hungarian: tejföl)
• 1 egg
• 7 grams baking powder
• ⅓ teaspoon salt

Instructions

• Mix all ingredients. Stir until become a dough. I usually use a stand mixer for making a dough.
• Wrap the dough and put the refrigerator for a hour.
• Preheat the oven to 190℃ (375°F).
• Line a large baking sheet with baking parchment.
• Roll the dough 1-inch-thick (2,5-cm-thick) on the lightly floured surface.
• Make a shallow cross-hatched pattern with a sharp knife all over the dough surface. With a floured cutter, stamp out rounds with a 4,5-cm- (1 3/4-inch-) diameter.
• Arrange them on the baking sheet and bake for 20 minutes.

Notes

You can sprinkle grated cheese on top every pogácsa.
