How to Make Cream-Filled Pastry Tubes

Cream-filled tubes

Ingredients:

  • 250 g of butter (about 1 cup)
  • 250 g of sour cream (a thicker, tangier version common in Eastern European cuisine; about 1 cup)
  • 500 g of flour (about 4 cups)
  • A pinch of salt

Mix the ingredients together to form a soft dough. Refrigerate the dough for 2 hours. Roll the dough out thinly to about 1 mm. Cut it into long strips, approximately 1.5 cm wide. Grease the tube molds with fat. Form the tubes starting from the narrow side. Sprinkle one side of each tube with sugar. Bake at 200°C (about 400°F) for 15 minutes. Once cooled, remove the tubes from the molds and fill them with the cream of your choice. I used whipped cream.
