Sour Cream
7 recipes 3 guides
Sour cream adds creamy richness and a clean tang to dips, chili, braises, and taco toppings. Stirred into a sauce, it softens spicy or smoky flavors and gives the mixture body without making it heavy. The main mistake is boiling it: high heat can make sour cream curdle, so add it gently or off the heat.
