I've seen various recipes for it but most of them call for cream (I don't know what that is exactly) and/or buttermilk (can't find that either).

Hi Catire,

I have much sympathy for you difficulty with sour cream. I live in a country where it is totally unknown, and totally absent from the shelfs of grocery stores. And I love it so much, for potatoes, for dips and for humanizing soups. But you get yogurt, right? and lemon juice, right? And cream. I am sure that you get cream. If not, get condensed milk instead of cream, The one that Argentinian use to make dulche de leche. With those ingredients you can make as much sour cream you want, and by storing it in the fridge, you will be able to have your dad smiling happily with his baked potatoes, and more!
Use this link. And do some experiments. You look like a very talented cook, by your old posts, but a great cook allows for trial and errors.

Well I just got a little confused with similar/multiple/different names for dairy products in different countries

Do not listen to those gringos, dear friend. They buy their sour cream. We do our own.

Why didn't I think of wikipedia before reading like 20 spanish forum threads about sour cream

Thanks! I just need to do some research on the right way to sour it





Thanks! I probably cant get fresh milk easily but I can try

if you can get what would be labeled "heavy whipping cream" in this country (very commonly used in baking) you can do the vinegar trick

I used to be able to find it years ago, but I think I got it from one of the suppliers of a bakery I worked at. I'll see what I can find

Listen also to gringas agricolas, if they tcome to you with a spoon of sour cream to start the new batch.
