The "watery" on the bottom is whey and your sour cream would stay thicker if you don't stir it in but move over sour cream with utensil and pour off the whey which is AWESOME for making breads ;)

[@supercooled]

What’s the ration of whey to flour?

[@herefobeer]

To thicken it up like store bought, throw it in the blender, add a pinch of guar gum, blend and let it sit in fridge for an hour. Guar gum is a natural thickener. It will also give amazing slimy consistency that is delicious.

[@inthekitchenwithmatt]

Good idea!

[@PerogiXW]

If you'd like to thicken your sour cream, a simple slurry of cornstarch or flour and water whisked in to the already made sour cream works very well.

Is thickened cream a good substitute for the whipping cream?

[@gregjohnson720]

Thanks Matt. Great tip. We do not have either sour cream or buttermilk in Brazil. For Bmilk everybody says put lemon juice or vinegar in milk. However, that is merely sour milk and not real buttermilk that comes from the whey in butter manufacturing.

[@inthekitchenwithmatt]

Thanks! Those are just suitable substitutes if you don't have the real thing. Even this sour cream is an acidic sour cream and not a true cultured sour cream, but it works great as a substitute. Just like the "Sour" milk it works as a suitable substitute. Traditionally buttermilk was the liquid left after churning butter, but now the commercially produced buttermilk is actually cultured as well.

[@shanthageorge7413]

@@inthekitchenwithmatt In India we make buttermilk by adding water to yoghurt or curd. Another way is to churn the curd adding water to get butter. The remaining liquid is buttermilk.

Hi could you guide me on one thing. It's supposed for 24 hours at room temp, but what if the room is hotter? For me in summers ambient temperature goes to 37 degrees celcius, and in winters it drops to 12. So if the month is hot how long do I keep it out for and how long if it's too cold? I don't have central heating or air-conditioning so

[@inthekitchenwithmatt]

The length of time is just a guideline, let it go until it thickens. And after it is made, it needs to be stored in the fridge.

Hi thanks for ur sharing! Is this doable with non-dairy whipping cream instead of heavy cream?

[@inthekitchenwithmatt]

Hi there! No sorry, I don't think you can make sour cream with non-dairy whipping cream, since part of the natural chemical process that happens, has to do with the acid in the lemon juice or vinegar and the dairy. But you can certainly try it.

[@syahirahhaizan1345]

@@inthekitchenwithmatt i’ve tried it, it still separated into two part but there’s not much distinct sour flavour though. only from the lemon added.

[@inthekitchenwithmatt]

@@syahirahhaizan1345 Yeah, sounds about right with non-dairy whipping cream. Also note, there are two types of sour cream, acidic and cultured. The kind sold in stores that most people think of as sour cream is cultured. Meaning they use some sort of a culture to sour it. Something like buttermilk would work well. So instead of vinegar or lemon juice you use buttermilk. If you use vinegar or lemon juice like I show in the video, you get an "acidic" sour cream. It will taste different than true cultured sour cream. But it works great as a substitute if you can't find sour cream where you live. :)

Hi David! If you use less lemon juice or vinegar it won't be as thick. If you use more it will get a little thicker. If you have cultured buttermilk, add 1/4 cup of that instead of vinegar or lemon juice. It will produce more of a classic cultured sour cream as opposed the to "acidic" sour cream substitute which is what I demonstrate in the video. :) Easy to experiment with at home, to see what you like the best.

Awesome! :) Unfortunately most countries where sour cream isn't available, cultured buttermilk isn't available either. haha. But, yes cultured buttermilk is the way to go for sure, if you can find it.

[@olviyalus]

Thank you so much for the easy recipe. Here in India, sour cream is not easily available. Once again thanks for this so easy recipe. I used this sour cream for my cheesecake.

[@inthekitchenwithmatt]

You are very welcome! :)

[@TravelWithLinAndBilly]

Thanks, I will never buy sour cream again 😂

[@inthekitchenwithmatt]

You are welcome Billy, try it first and see how you like it. It tastes different than store bought, but still good! :)

[@SKJIWA]

Can I use half n half and use lemon juice?

[@inthekitchenwithmatt]

Hi there, no sorry, you need to use a full cream.

[@justpar2012]

I would have to go to the store for heavy whipping cream so I would just buy sour cream there.

[@inthekitchenwithmatt]

Same with anything homemade right? Let's say you want to make cookies but you don't have any sugar, you would have to go to the store to buy the sugar right? So why not just buy cookies? Do you only make foods at home that you can't buy at the store? :) hehe, and by the way there are several countries that don't sell sour cream, like the case in this video where the person requested I make a video on it, because they can't buy it where they live.

[@justpar2012]

I never have heavy whipping cream as most people don't.

[@inthekitchenwithmatt]

@@justpar2012 So you buy some at the store, just like you do with any ingredients. My earlier statement stands, if you run out of sugar, you have to go to the store to buy it, if you want to bake, etc. lol The whole reason why people make things at home, is one, because they enjoy it and two they like to know exactly what ingredients are put it in, and three, homemade food tends to be more healthy then store bought. :)

You tell em!!

[@nvd2ceb4]

@@inthekitchenwithmatt I just came across this video because I usually don't keep dairy in my home because it always go to waste. I have heavy whipping cream powder, sour cream powder, and cream cheese powder. I've mastered the cream cheese powder but I haven't mastered the heavy whipping cream and sour cream powder. It doesn't come with enough powder for me to experiment so I try not to use them so I won't mess them up. I also have store brought whole milk in a carton but I don't know if that would work so yeah...I would have to buy the sour cream at the store.

Ok I dont have heavy whipping cream either!😂

[@inthekitchenwithmatt]

lol :) I believe plain yogurt will work too, but not certain about that.

[@alek1766]

Do I need whole milk or can I substitute any milk?

[@inthekitchenwithmatt]

Whole milk works the best. Technically you can try just leaving it out all together and using just heavy cream.

[@prativsaha8079]

This is almost like the recipe for butter milk, except cream was added in this one. {0-0}

[@inthekitchenwithmatt]

Yup! Same method for both. Pretty cool right?

[@paupineda4146]

Can i use all purpose cream instead?will it work?thanks!

[@inthekitchenwithmatt]

Hello, I am not sure. We don't have all purpose cream here. We have heavy whipping cream, whipping cream, half and half, milk, etc. Although, your all purpose cream may be the same as our whipping cream. If so, then yes it should work. The best thing is to just try it and find out. :)

Thank you so much, i live in Bolivia and could find this so now i am gonna make it

You are welcome, Iris! It is a great substitute.

[@tatojo]

Thank u for sharing, how long can I store the sour cream in the fridge And the freezer? THX!

[@inthekitchenwithmatt]

You are welcome! It will last 1 to 2 weeks if covered and put in the fridge. While you can freeze sour cream the texture will change quite a bit. So only freeze it if you are planning on using it in soups, casseroles or other cooked dishes like that. :)

[@tatojo]

@@inthekitchenwithmatt okies thank u sooo much!

May I know room temperature refers to how many degree celsius? As here in Singapore can be very hot.

[@inthekitchenwithmatt]

Room temperature here in the US is usually between 70 to 80 F (21 to 26 C) depending on the climate and location. You may need to store it in the fridge while it thickens if the room temp is too hot there.

@@inthekitchenwithmatt Thanks for your prompt response.

Wouldn't it be less watery if prepared with whipping cream only? (I mean, without adding milk)

[@inthekitchenwithmatt]

Not necessarily but go for it and try both ways and see for yourself. :) Super easy recipe to experiment with.

[@chynchynful]

Can I use normal whipping cream instead? There’s no available heavy whipping cream everywhere.

[@inthekitchenwithmatt]

Yep! :)

[@darrelld.paveyjr.1477]

Can we substitute sour milk for Heavy Cream?? And would that eliminate the Vinegar?

[@inthekitchenwithmatt]

Hi there, no sorry, you can't make sour cream without using cream. And no, you need to use the vinegar OR lemon juice.

[@ArifAyduran]

Hi thank you for this Tutorial, i want to ask you how much time it spoils?

[@inthekitchenwithmatt]

It will only last 2 to 3 days in the fridge, so I recommend only making the amount you want to use.

[@jeevanbabuamakkattu7730]

Should I whip the whipping cream before using

[@inthekitchenwithmatt]

No don't whip the cream. :) Just add the cream with the milk and the vinegar/lemon juice. Shake it a tiny bit so it mixes together then let it sit. :)

Does the heavy whipping cream that your using has sugar in it ?

[@inthekitchenwithmatt]

Hi there, Liana, no, it is unsweetened heavy whipping cream. :)
