Thick Sour Cream
Description
This Mexican beverage features Heavy cream, Buttermilk. It delivers smooth, comforting richness. A reliable recipe that works well for everyday cooking. Simple to make with ingredients you likely already have on hand, this is a recipe you will come back to again and again.Ingredients
Directions
-
Many recipes from central Mexico call for cream.
-
it should be slightly sour, liek the creme fraiche of France.
-
I suggest that you make your own, which is far more satisfactory that using the commercial brands.
-
Put the cream and buttermilk into a glass jar and mix them well together.
-
Cover with plastic
-
wrap and
-
set the mixture aside in a warm
-
place , but not too warm (a strong pilot light is too warm; the
-
cream will taste "cooked" and a skin will
-
form ) until it is
-
set , about 6 hours.
-
Put the crem into the refrigerator overnight; it will thicken and become more solid.
-
Some creams will sour more quickly, and some become thicker than others.
-
The milk experts inform me that these are uncontrollable factors depending on the culture of the buttermilk, the amount of light and
-
heat to which the
-
cream was exposed before it was used, and even the bateria in one's own kitchen.
-
For Thin Sour Cream you can substitute light for heavy cream
