Sour Cream Brittlebread

   2 3/4  cups          All-purpose flour
     1/4  cup           Sugar
     1/2  teaspoon      Baking soda
     1/2  cup           Butter
   1      cup           Sour cream
   2      tablespoons   Creole seasoning
   2      tablespoons   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. 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.
