Cover sun-dried tomatoes with boiling water in a bowl; let stand 30 minutes or until soft. Drain well, and finely chop.
Preheat oven to 425°. Cover baking sheet with parchment paper.
Mix together dry ingredients- one at a time and cut pastry until mixture resembles coarse meal. Stir in chopped tomatoes. Add vinegar and creamer stirring just until moist (dough will be sticky).
Turn dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead with floured hands. Divide dough in half. Pat each dough portion into a 6-inch circle on the baking sheet. Cut each circle into six wedges, cutting into but not through dough. Bake about12 minutes or until golden.
