What Can Sour Cream be Replaced With?

Sometimes, to prepare a recipe, we need an ingredient that we don't have available in our kitchen, or we can't get it right now, but we want to prepare the recipe straight away. Sometimes these ingredients can fortunately be substituted.

One of them is sour cream. Whether it's not currently available at home or in the store, or we're just too lazy to get to the store to buy it, there are two alternatives to sour cream that will help you in this situation.

1. Yogurt

When you don't have sour cream, you can use the amount you need, from for example 1 tea cup of quality yogurt. Yogurt with a fat content of 0.1% is not suitable for cooking, so it alone is not recommended to be used for this purpose.

2. Milk

The other alternative to sour cream is 1 tea cup of milk, to which you must add 1 tea cup of margarine and 1 teaspoon of lemon juice. If you need a larger quantity for our recipe, simply double or triple the quantities.

With sour cream, we recommend trying one of our recipes with sour cream:

- cheesecake with sour cream;

- sour cream cake;

- chicken with sour cream;

- or muffins with sour cream;
