What delicious dishes can be made from sour cream
Tainted cream can be used to make very good pancakes. To do this, beat 2 chicken eggs with a little granulated sugar, add salt to taste, a pinch of baking soda and sour cream. Stir well and add the sifted flour. The amount of flour depends on the amount of cream added. Sprinkle enough so that you end up with a rather thick dough after mixing. Fry the pancakes on both sides in heated vegetable oil until browned.
If you add an apple cut into thin strips or grated on a medium grater into the dough, the pancakes will be especially tasty.
Guryev's pancakes will be a decoration of any table. To make them, thoroughly stir 2 cups of wheat flour with 3 egg yolks and about 100 grams of ghee. Dilute the resulting mixture with sour cream (about 200 milliliters). Add 3 egg whites, whipped into a strong foam, stir again thoroughly. Add a tablespoon of vegetable oil and bake the pancakes in a highly heated cast iron skillet.
You can also use sour cream in some pies, omelets, sauces. Or, for example, cook potato casserole with sweet and sour sauce.
