How to Make Sour Cream - Easy Homemade Sour
Cream Recipe Hello and welcome back to In the Kitchen with
Matt, I am your host, Matt Taylor. Today I am going to show you how to make homemade
sour cream. Now here in the States sour cream is pretty
cheap and readily available. I had a request from someone to make a video
on sour cream because they do not have it available in their country, and you can definitely
make it pretty easy at home, let's get started. First you want to start with a nice clean
jar. I have a nice jar here. Now we are going to take one cup of heavy
whipping cream, let's pour it in there. All right and we are going to use one fourth
cup of whole milk, unpasteurized is best if you can get it, if not just the normal whole
milk. All now we are going to add ? tsp. of white
distilled vinegar, and what the vinegar is going to do is it is going to react with the
milk and cream and it is going to ferment it, and it is going to thicken it up, and
sour it, pretty cool, put it in there. And now I am going to put the lid on, and
we will just give it a good shake, so it gets all mixed around, you don't want to shake
it too much, because you don't want it to turn into butter or anything. And then, what I want to do, is I want to
take a nice clean cloth, and put it over it, and then we want to attach the top of this
with a rubber band, or you could use some twine, or rope, or like a string or something,
just to keep the top in place. Now we just let this sit at room temperature,
for 24 hours. Once it has thickened up, we are going to
go ahead and take the top off here, all right, great. Smells nice and good, what you will see here
is it got nice and thick on top, and then down below, it will be a bit watery so it
separated, so all we have to do is take a big spoon here, we will come in here, oh nice
and thick, and we will stir it all together, and then what I am going to do, is I am going
to just go ahead and transfer it over, look at that. There you go awesome thick homemade sour cream. Now this won�t be as thick as you would
buy traditionally at a store like in the States, because they add some artificial thickeners,
and things like that to it, but this is just a pure sour cream, amazing. All right and that is how you make homemade
sour cream, really easy to do, you can also add lemon juice as well, if you don't have
vinegar, like two tsp. two and a half tsp. of lemon juice, or a combination
of the two, half and half, then what you do is you take this and store it in the refrigerator,
for up to a week, and you just use this for whatever recipe that calls for sour cream,
use this. One thing we use to do as kids, is we would
take strawberries, whole strawberries, and dip them in the sour cream and then dip that
in the brown sugar; it made a really good treat. Yeah, so there you go, I am Matt Taylor this
