Ingredients
- 1 cup Powdered milk
- 1 cup Water
- 2 tablespoons White vinegar or lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon Vegetable oil (optional, for creaminess)
Directions
Step 1
In a medium-sized bowl, combine the powdered milk and water. Stir vigorously until the mixture is smooth and there are no lumps. This forms the base for your sour cream.
Step 2
Add the white vinegar or lemon juice to the milk mixture, one tablespoon at a time, stirring thoroughly after each addition. The acid will thicken the mixture and start to create the tangy flavor characteristic of sour cream.
Step 3
If you prefer a creamier texture, add the vegetable oil and mix until fully incorporated.
Step 4
Allow the mixture to sit at room temperature for 5-10 minutes. This gives it time to thicken and fully develop its flavor.
Step 5
Once thickened, transfer the sour cream to a clean container with a lid and refrigerate for at least 1 hour before use. This will enhance the texture and taste.
Step 6
Stir before serving. Use as a topping, in recipes, or anywhere sour cream is called for!
