Sometimes it happens that you suddenly run out of sour cream at home.

And if this is the only ingredient you are missing, it is easy to replace with analogues.

What to replace sour cream with

So, if you don't have sour cream at home, Greek yogurt can easily replace it. We are talking about a fermented milk drink without added sugar. Kefir, buttermilk, sour milk and other fermented milk products will cope with this task.

As for analogues not made from sour milk, then cream comes to the rescue. A mandatory condition is that it is fatty, otherwise the same baked goods may not rise.

Sour cream is also often replaced with cottage cheese, for example, when preparing cottage cheese casserole.

Another ideal alternative is butter, especially when it comes to shortcrust pastry. Only for biscuits it is better to prefer fermented milk products.
