You know, I think about writing in my blog basically every day and I don't, so I'm sorry. Having 3 small children certainly takes its toll on my time, though to be fair, it IS the holidays and I was gone for a week. I don't go online when I'm away from home, as a general rule.
But that's not the point today, folks. The point today, is SOUR CREAM.
Most of us have recipes that call for sour cream, and nothing is more disappointing than starting to make some yummy Texas Sheet Cake only to discover that you're out or sour cream. :(
To save the cake, here's what you'll want to do:
Mix 1TBSP of lemon juice with 1 cup of milk. The lemon juice will curdle the milk. I find that allowing it to sit about 5 minutes enhances the flavor a bit and will help your cake to rise a little better. The longer it sits the chunkier your milk will be when you add it to the ingredients. If you don't have lemon juice use vinegar instead.
Also, you can make sour cream using 1 TBSP of lemon juice (or vinegar) and 1 cup of cottage cheese, well blended.
