Substitute for..... Sour Cream


Ok, I know this is pretty SILLY putting a substitute called Sour Cream, but we have to make our sour cream in Papua. Eating this by itself, to me anyway, is soooo gross. But to my little brother and sister it’s like eating ice cream. (GROOOOOOOSE!!!!!!!!) But I like eating it in things like burritos. Anyway, this recipe comes from our friend in Papua. And here it is.

        Substitute for….. Sour Cream
1 Tablespoon vinegar/water mixture
 1 cup whipping cream

·         Vinegar/water mixture- All you do is put two thirds water in a bottle with a lid and one third vinegar. Close the lid and shake for maybe 30 secs.
·         1 cup: Sour Cream- Put the 1 Tablespoon vinegar/ water etc. in a measuring cup (always, always, ALWAYS do this first). Then to the 1 cup or 250ml line on the measuring cup, pour the whipping cream in. Stir, with something non-metal, til’ the thickness you want.
