FAQs
What is real sour cream?
Real sour cream is made by fermenting cream with lactic acid bacteria, which are harmless. It has a tangy taste and thick texture, which makes it different from substitutes like yogurt or mayonnaise.
What if I don’t have sour cream?
If you don’t have sour cream, you can make a similar taste by mixing milk, yogurt, vinegar, and a pinch of salt. This will give you the thickness and tangy flavor that sour cream has.
Is sour cream the same as milk?
No, milk is a liquid, while sour cream is thicker and has a tangy flavor. Both come from dairy, but sour cream is fermented, which gives it its distinct taste and texture.
How can you speed up sour cream?
To speed up the sour cream process, you can add more vinegar or lemon juice, but be careful as it can get too bitter. You can also add a bit of powdered sugar or warm the mixture to 70°F to speed up fermentation, but don’t go above this temperature to avoid ruining the process.
What makes sour cream thicker?
Heavy cream is what makes sour cream thick. However, if you don’t have heavy cream, homemade yogurt and mayonnaise can serve as good alternatives to achieve the desired thickness.
