Hungarian Tea Biscuits (sos Tea Sutemeny)

2 2/3 Cup Flour
¼ Cup Warm Water
1 Tsp Dry Yeast
1 Tsp Salt
½ Cup Sour Cream

1 Cup Flour
1 Cup Lard

Dissolve Yeast In Warm Water & Let It Stand In A Warm Place For 15 -20 Minutes.

In The Meantime, Work The One Cup Of Flour & Lard Together Using A Potato Masher, Food Processor Or Your Fingers Until The Consistency Of A Course Meal. Keep This Mixture As Cold As You Can While Working With It & Refrigerate Until Needed.

Combine Yeast Mixture, Egg Yolks, Salt & Sour Cream. Using An Electric Mixer On Low Setting, Add Flour In ½ Cup Portions Beating For 5 Minutes Between Each Addition. (if You Have A Mixer With A Doug Hook, You Can Continue Until All The Flour Is Absorbed.) Work The Dough For 10 Minutes After The Last Addition. Those With A Regular Mixer Will Have To Work In The Second Half Of The Flour By Hand. (my Grandma Did This All By Hand.) Work The Dough, Kneading Until It Is Smooth & Slightly Glossy. 

Roll Out On A Floured Board As Large As It Will Go. Spread Evenly With The Lard/flour Mixture.

It Is Very Important To Fold This Dough Correctly In Order To Get The Desired Taste & Texture.

	3 .repeat Folding 1/3 Of The Now Triple Layer From 				Top Down.

	4. Cover With 1/3 From Bottom Up.

Place Dough Into Lightly Floured Bowl. Cover & Refrigerate For At Least 30 Minutes.

Roll Out Seam Side Down & Fold Up Again With The Exactly Same Sequence. Make Sure You Don’t Turn The Dough Around. Repeat Folding Twice More. You Can Leave The Dough Refrigerated Between Folding For A Day If You Wish.
