I found this recipe in the marvelous book "Cook My Darling Daughter" by Mildred O. Knopf. That´s definitely a book worth searching for! The pastry is easy and works beautifully every time.

2 sticks butter, softened
1 8-oz. pkg. cream cheese, softened
2 cups flour

Cream the butter with the cream cheese until thoroughly mixed. Add flour and mix well until a dough forms. Form into ball, wrap in plastic wrap, and refrigerate overnight before using. Use the flour method for rolling out this dough.
