Ingredients

The following ingredients have 8 Servings
  • 2 teaspoons granulated sugar
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • ¼ teaspoon baking soda
  • 8 tablespoons butter, grated the frozen
  • 1 egg
  • ½ cup heavy cream
  • 1 cup feta cheese, crumbled
  • ½ cup kalamata olives, coarsely chopped
  • ¼ cup basil, thinly sliced

Instruction

  • Preheat oven to 400°F. Line a sheet tray with parchment paper.
  • In a large bowl, whisk in sugar, flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt.
  • Add butter, and work in with your fingers until it is well combined and the mixture looks like coarse meal. The biggest piece of butter should be no bigger than the size of a pea.
  • Mix in feta, olives and basil.
  • In a small bowl, combine egg and cream. Mix well.
  • Pour into flour mixture. Fold in making sure to scrape down the sides of the bowl. Scrape dough out onto a lightly floured surface.
  • Using hands, shape dough into a ball, making sure to fold in all the loose clumps. Shape into a 7-inch circle, approximately 3/4 inch thick, and cut into 8 equal pieces.
  • With space between each triangle, place on a parchment covered baking sheet. Bake for about 12-15 minutes, or until golden.
  • Remove from the oven and transfer to a cooling rack to cool completely.
