Sour sour cream should not be added to salads and soups. But it can become the basis for the dough from which delicious pancakes, pies, cakes or muffins are baked. The sour taste is leveled by cooking and the addition of the right ingredients, while the baked goods are very soft and fluffy.
Motley cupcake
This cake bakes very quickly and does not need any cream or icing. At the same time, the product is very beautiful. Serve it cut - the striking mosaic pattern on the slices will be especially noticeable.
You will need:
- 150 g butter;
- 250 g sour cream;
- 3 eggs;
- 1 tablespoon of cocoa powder;
- 1 teaspoon of baking soda;
- 1 lemon;
- a pinch of vanillin;
- 2 cups granulated sugar;
- 3.5 cups of wheat flour;
- powdered sugar for sprinkling.
For baking, you can use sour cream with a too sour taste. But if the product has acquired bitterness or is covered with mold, it is better to throw it away.
Mash the softened butter with sugar. Gradually add eggs and sour cream to the mixture, then add baking soda and sifted flour. Quickly knead a light dough and divide it in two.
Rub the lemon zest, squeeze out the juice. Add the whole zest and a tablespoon of lemon juice to one half of the dough. Knead it until smooth. Put vanillin and cocoa in the second part of the dough. Line the cake pan with oiled baking paper. Use a tablespoon to alternate between the chocolate and lemon doughs in a row. Spread the remaining dough in a second layer, and put the dark on the light and vice versa. Place the dish in an oven preheated to 180 ° C. The cake needs to be cooked for about 30 minutes. Then remove from the mold, refrigerate and sprinkle with powdered sugar.
Sour cream pancakes
Lush pancakes can be baked from sour cream. Serve them hot with jam, honey or condensed milk. According to this recipe, you can also cook pancakes with a bake, adding 1-2 grated apples without peel to the dough.
You will need:
- 1 glass of sour cream;
- 1 egg;
- 1 cup sifted wheat flour;
- 0.5 teaspoon of baking soda;
- 0.25 teaspoon of salt;
- 1 tablespoon of sugar;
- 1 teaspoon of vanilla sugar;
- vegetable oil for frying.
Beat the egg with sugar and vanilla sugar. Add sour cream, salt, soda, add sifted flour in portions. Knead the dough and let it rest for 5-10 minutes.
Do not add too much oil from the pan - the pancakes will be greasy and flat.
Heat vegetable oil in a skillet. Spoon the dough into the pan, making it round or oval. When one side is browning, turn the pancakes over with a spatula. To make sure the baked goods are ready, pierce one pancake with a fork - there should be no dough marks on it. Place finished products in a dish and keep warm until serving.
