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.

Today we have a picnic in the woods after going for mushrooms. The forest this year surprises with a variety of all sorts of mushrooms that appeared at the same time – aspen, boletus, umbrellas, redheads, buttermilk. For a snack, I made tortillas with pockets and stuffed them with fresh vegetables and baked Turkey. Cooking tortillas will not take much time, and delicious Turkey filling with fresh vegetables and spicy sauce will make a snack in nature nutritious and unusual. The ingredients for the tortilla are measured in one glass (I have 150 ml). the main thing here is the proportions. The original recipe used only wheat flour, but I don’t really like plain wheat bread, so I took half wheat flour and half whole wheat rye.
