Ingredients
3 ½ cups flour
Salt, if desired
1 teaspoon baking powder
½ cup butter, chilled and cut into small pieces
2 eggs
1 cup sour cream
Preparation
- Step 1
Put 3 ¼ cups of the flour, salt to taste, baking powder, butter, eggs and sour cream into the container of a food processor. Process until thoroughly blended.
- Step 2
If a food processor is not used, put the flour, salt to taste and baking powder in a mixing bowl. Add the butter and cut it with two knives or a pastry blender until the mixture looks like coarse cornmeal. Using a fork, add the eggs and thoroughly blend.
- Step 3
Scrape the mixture out onto a lightly floured board and knead as briefly as possible, using as little flour as possible to make a smooth and workable dough.
- Step 4
Shape the dough into a flat cake and wrap it in plastic wrap. Chill until ready to use.

The hand-mix instructions never mention the sour cream. I am guessing it should go in with the eggs, like adding liquid to a biscuit or pie dough after cutting in the butter?

I noticed the the list of ingredients states 3-1/2 c of flour.
The instructions states to add 3-1/4 c of flour to the food processor. What is the correct amount of flour to be used?
I assume the1/4 c is for dusting board for kneading the dough
