About this Recipe
Sour cream, also known as soured cream, is a dairy product made by fermenting regular cream with lactic acid bacteria. The bacterial culture, which is added either intentionally or accidentally, soured and thickened the cream. Souring refers to the process of producing lactic acid through bacterial fermentation. Crème fraîche is a type of sour cream that has a high fat content and a milder sour flavour.
Sour cream was traditionally made by fermenting cream skimmed from the top of milk at a low temperature. It can also be made by soaking pasteurised cream in an acid-producing bacterial culture. The bacteria that grew during fermentation thickened and acidified the cream, which was a natural way of preserving it.

Ingredients for Homemade Sour Cream Recipe :
Fresh Cream :
Fresh cream is a dairy product derived from milk. It is created by processing and sterilising milk at high temperatures before packaging it. Because it contains only 18-25% milk fat, it cannot be used as whipping cream (which contains almost 35 percent milk fat).
Lemon Juice :
Lemon juice makes the cream acidic, causing the casein proteins to clump.
