Is sour cream the same as creme fraiche?!

Answers:
sour cream is more tart, but you can substitute here!.!.!.add a few drops of lemon juice, if you like!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
It's not the same but you can make creme fraiche using sour cream!. Add 1 tablespoon of sour cream to a pint of cream and let it sit covered with a cloth at room temp overnight!.
BTW, you have to beat it a little with a whisk or fork!. Just to mix it up!.
When you add the sour cream and leave it *at room temp* overnight the cultures in the SC affect the cream!. Creme fraiche is NOT a very sour cream!. Trust me!.

Yes, it is the same!. On the carton of creme fraiche it says soured cream, just that one is French and the other is English!.

sour cream is a crème that has been fermented, hence the sour flavour!. its consistency would be well enough for your recipe, it′s only the taste that would differ!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
No, it is NOT the same thing!.
You can mix a little sour cream into about a cup of regular cream!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
