Method:

1. Sift the flour, baking powder, and salt into a large bowl. Use a pastry blender to cut in the butter until the mixture resembles fine crumbs.

2. Stir together the sugar, sour cream, and 1 egg. Stir into the dry ingredients to form a smooth dough.

3. Press the dough into a disk, wrap in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for 30 minutes.

4. Preheat the oven to 425°F/220°C/gas 7. Line two cookie sheets with parchment paper.

5. Roll out the dough on a lightly floured surface to a thickness of 1/4 inch (5 mm). Use a 2-inch (5-cm) cookie cutter to cut out the cookies.

6. Gather the dough scraps, re-roll, and continue cutting out until all the dough is used.

7. Use a spatula to transfer the cookies to the cookie sheets, spacing them 2 inches (5 cm) apart. Prick all over with a fork.
