Recipe: Sour Cream Brittlebread

Title: Sour Cream Brittlebread
Categories: Cajun Appetizers Breads
Servings: 10

2 3/4 c All-purpose flour
1/4 c Sugar
1/2 t Baking soda
1/2 c Butter
1 c Sour cream
2 T Creole seasoning
2 T Kosher salt for sprinkling

Preheat the oven to 400F. Sift together the flour,
sugar, salt, and baking soda into a bowl or food
processor. Cut in the butter. Add the sour cream and
Creole Seasoning (see recipe for Creole Seasoning),
and mix to a soft dough. Roll out paper-thin on a
floured board. Cut into 1-1/2 inch squares. Sprinkle
with kosher salt and place on an ungreased baking
sheet. Bake for 5-8 minutes. Turn off the heat and
allow the bread to crisp in the oven.
Nathalie Dupree describes this recipe in her book "New
Southern Cooking" this way; "This crisp, cracker-like
bread is good just flavored with salt and sour cream.
But add Creole Seasoning and you'll have a hot and
spicy appetizer that will leave your guests begging
for the recipe. It's nice to keep a big airtight
cookie jar full of these for snacking."
