Hi CC family

I was wondering if a recipe calls for sour cream if I can substitute it for yogurt. I ran out of sourcream but i have tons of yogurt in the frige.

thanks diamondsmom

Just giving myself a bump!

I have done it with no problems- just make sure it's not fat free yogurt or it may affect whatever you're baking.

I was just reading in a magazine the other day that plain yogurt can be substituted to sour cream in any recipe. Let us know how it turns out. Yogurt is much better for you. Maybe I'll try it soon.

I use either/or and have never had a problem. I even use the regular yogurt instead of fat free and sometimes half sour cream, half yogurt.... My cakes always get rave reviews.

I use yogurt for just about anything lol I once wanted to make scones and had no condensed milk or cream but had some plain yogurt and they are the best scones ever really nice and moist. Just this morning I wanted to make a banana bread that called for 1/4 c heavy cream well I used some strawberry banana yogurt mmmmm turned out fantastic. I also use flavoured yogurts that compliment what I'm baking like blueberry scones I use blueberry yogurt. I have also used it in buscuits. I find it makes my baked good nice and moist. It is much cheaper than heavy cream as well as lasts longer in the fridge and if you only need a little you can just buy the one serving size which is about 1/2 cup.
