Sour cream is not French creme fraiche, which, although similar, remain thick cream. Although fresh cream has a sourness, this is a very subtle difference from fresh cream. Ordinary sour cream is really sour (when compared with cream), but silky and soft to the taste.
How to choose Sour Cream?
Chefs most often choose an average value of 20-25% fat content – this is the optimal balance of low calorie content and suitable consistency, which is suitable for both cold and hot dishes. The secret is that the low-fat mixture collapses under the influence of high temperatures. Therefore, if recipes with sour cream involve heat treatment, it is better to choose a sufficient minimum.
A low-fat mixture is enough for dressing vegetable salads, soups, making quick sauces and gravy potato pancakes. Pasty sour cream is needed for whipping cream for cakes, making desserts, mousses, fruit salads, for baking in the oven, stewing meat, fish, mushrooms and vegetables. Sour cream is also used instead of mayonnaise, pancakes are kneaded on sour cream, and additionally it is used to prepare cold sauces to roast or poultry meat.
How to cook Sour Cream?
In any recipe where you want to bake something under mayonnaise, the latter can be replaced with fatty sour cream with the addition of salt and a drop of wine vinegar. Fat thick sour cream is better suited for whipping with sugar, for creams and dip sauces (for dipping). Liquid sour cream is better suited for stewing, for sauces and gravies.
This is really a very tasty and interesting dish: it surprisingly combines tenderness and piquancy. The main character is responsible for tenderness – eggplant-potato terrine, but garlic and mayonnaise give piquancy to the dish.
I love cupcakes. They are easy to prepare and very tasty. This cupcake is no exception. With a pronounced chocolate flavor and a delicate layer of cottage cheese souffle.
Everyone loves holidays! It’s fun, and laughter, and a delicious elegant table with all kinds of snacks. But, unfortunately, sometimes it happens that with a festive table you can only eat potatoes and cucumber. And how do you want something that can’t be for one reason or another. Why don’t we prepare a festive terrine that can be consumed by nursing mothers, and the sick, and forever losing weight? Maybe the terrine is not too fancy, so we decorate it the way we want. But it’s delicious and more tender!!!
Very chocolate, very tasty, moist pie with a spicy impregnation of red hot pepper… How spicy the taste of this dessert will be depends on you… and from your preferences! Actually, that’s why (because of the addition of hot chili pepper) the cupcake is called “Mexican”, although the recipe itself refers to American cuisine.
This is a very tender, lush and delicious pie. Will please all lovers of such homemade cakes for tea. Fragrant, airy, delicate, creamy-flavored pie! Very tasty!
Terrine is a popular cold snack in France. This snack is also often prepared all over the world. I suggest cooking a terrine of fish and chickpeas. The taste of this dish is great and light. Prepare this snack for your family, and she will be happy.
Going on a picnic, the question often arises – what to take with you for a snack? Snack cakes in this sense are a win-win option! And just for a summer breakfast or dinner, they are good!
Apple pastries are one of the favorites in our family! Today I have apple cupcakes with cinnamon, which will please everyone without exception!) They are delicious, juicy, tender and very fragrant.
I met this amazingly delicious cupcake recently, when I saw the recipe, I immediately went to the kitchen and started cooking, that’s what I got, come in.
