Sour Cream

Preparation

1. Need some, have none

   Step 1

   For cooking purposes, not topping purposes, add 1 tablespoon mild vinegar or lemon juice to 1 cup of evaporated milk.

   Step 2

   For topping purposes, not cooking purposes, put cottage cheese in a blender or food processor, sweeten it to taste, and if it doesn’t taste right, add a tiny bit of vanilla extract.

   Step 3

   Or make crème fraîche (see, surprisingly, creme fraiche).
