Sour Cream Substitute

By Hklbrries

Dear Heloise: The other day I needed some sour cream and realized I didn't have any. I found that if I mixed 1 cup of plain yogurt and 1 tablespoon of white vinegar together, a sour cream substitute was created! - Deidre H, Washington, DC

You're right, Deidre, this will work in a pinch as a substitute for sour cream. Please keep in mind that substitutions may change the texture and flavor. We thought we would share other substitutions that might come in handy:

No baking powder? For each teaspoon needed, mix 1/4 tsp baking soda and 1/2 tsp cream of tartar

No cornstarch? For each tablespoon needed, use 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour

No self-rising flour? For each cup needed, mix 1 cup all-purpose flour, 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder and 1/2 teaspoon table salt
