A Mexican Sweet Bread that is made with puff pastry and sprinkled with sugar once baked! In English it means Bows.

8
1 1/2 cups all purpose flour (6 oz)
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1 cup unsalted butter, chilled well and cut into chunks (8 oz)
1/2 cup sour cream (4 oz)
1 egg, beaten
1/3 cup sugar
In a medium bowl, combine the flour, salt and baking powder. Add the chunks of butter into the dough, flattening each piece with your fingers Add the sour cream, and gently mix it into the dough. It won't be cohesive at this point. Turn the dough onto a floured work surface and bring it together with a few quick kneads. Pat the dough into a square and roll it into an 8x10 rectangle- using flour as needed to prevent sticking. Dust off any excess flour from the surface of the dough, and fold in three. (like a letter) Flip the dough over, rotate it 90 degrees, and repeat the process. (Rolling to an 8"x10" rectangle and then folding.) Wrap dough and chill for at least 30 minutes before using. Cut out rectangles of 3"x4" and twist once to create a "bow". Brush tops with the beaten egg. Place on parchment lined/buttered baking baking sheet; Bake at 400F for 22-25 minutes until golden on top. Sprinkle with sugar and enjoy!
