How to Make Sour Cream - Gemma's Bold Baking Basics Ep 21

Hi Bold Bakers! Dairy ingredients, like sour cream, buttermilk, and yogurt, are such important ingredients when it comes to baking, so it’s important to me that you know how to make them. Today I’m going to show you how you can make sour cream using three ingredients and just one jar. Into a glass jar, I’m going to pour in some cream. Into the cream, I’m going to add in a little bit of fresh lemon juice. This is what gives it that acidic flavor. Now just mix these two ingredients together. Into our cream and lemon mix, I’m going to add in some milk. Then, all you want to do is take the lid for your jar, seal it up nice and tight, and give it a really good shake, to get all of those ingredients to mix really well together. Okay perfect. That’s it. So now what you want to do is take off your lid, and then we’re going to get a piece of breathable kitchen paper, so any kitchen towel works really well. Place your kitchen paper over the top of the jar. And then I’m going to get an elastic band, and then just seal the kitchen paper around there. So now what we’re going to do is let this sour cream sit out at room temperature for 24 hours. That helps it get sour and thicken. Now if your kitchen is particularly hot, try and put it in a bit of a cooler spot, so it just doesn’t overheat. I made this sour cream yesterday because I wanted to show you what it’s supposed to look like. So we’re going to take off our kitchen paper. And you will notice that the sour cream will have separated a little bit, and it will be solid on the top and liquid on the bottom. So what you want to do is just give it a really good stir altogether, and there you go, lovely, thick, homemade sour cream, perfect for all of your baking. Now this will last in your refrigerator for up to two weeks. I have simple baking videos on how to make your own butter, yogurt, self-raising flour, lots more just like this one, so make sure you go check those out!
