1. Sour Cream Coffee Cake

Have a cup of coffee and a slice of warm, fluffy, buttery sour cream coffee cake? You’re in for a treat.

Cream cheese frosting is topped with sweet chocolate chips.

It pairs perfectly with the fluffy but dense cake, making it feel like you’re eating something right out of the oven.

I recommend serving this with some fresh berries to make it extra special.

2. Easy Homemade Sour Cream

You won’t believe how creamy these are without a single whipped cream topping.

They’re super soft and fluffy, and the easiest way to make them is with a hand mixer.

I like to use a whisk attachment because it gives you more time to reach all those air bubbles.

It also helps you mix any lumps out of the batter before adding the milk.

Of course, if that’s too much trouble, just add it all in one go and watch as they turn into silky smooth custard.

3. Sour Cream Pancakes

Sour cream pancakes have lots of amazing flavors.

 They’re crunchy on the outside, soft on the inside, and oh-so-moist.

They’re great with a variety of toppings, including maple syrup and fresh fruit.

And they’re ideal when you want something with a touch of sweetness to wake up your morning!

The best part: these sour cream pancakes take just 40 minutes to make, so they’ll be ready in no time.

4. Sour Cream And Onion Chicken

Sour cream and onion chicken is a delicious side dish for any meal.

 It’s an easy way to add flavor to your meals, and it’s sure to be a hit with your family.

The sour cream adds tanginess and richness to the dish, while the onions add crunch.

It takes just 30 minutes to make, so you can whip up this savory dish anytime you want!

 Plus, it has a fantastic apple flavor that works well with both cinnamon and nutmeg.

Top it with a dollop of vanilla ice cream, if you like.

 Or try it as is!

6. Sour Cream Noodle Bake

I’m usually very skeptical of beans, but if there were a bean dish that genuinely made me feel like a kid again, this would be it.

It has everything you love about baked beans, minus the dried-out texture.

 And they soak up all those wonderful flavors from the chicken broth!

The sour cream gives the whole thing an almost creamy finish that I just can’t get enough of.

Sour cream is a great touch to chicken, and it adds so much flavor.

8. Sour Cream Pound Cake

The frosting on this cake is just as rich and decadent as the cake itself, but it’s lighter, more refreshing.

They’re both terrific desserts in their own right, but this pound cake is a little easier for me to eat.

Plus, I love the combination of super yummy vanilla cream cheese frosting with sweet and buttery sour cream.

I also like that it uses green food coloring in the batter to make it look more like an actual candy bar!

Chicken and sour cream go together like peanut butter and jelly.

 How can you go wrong? These enchiladas are a fall-back every time!

The chicken filling is mixed with thickened corn tortillas, smothered in cheese, and baked to perfection.

I love these because they don’t require tons of ingredients.

 You could always make the chicken filling ahead of time and reheat it in the oven if you need a last-minute dinner.

It’s light and moist with the perfect balance of tangy and sweet.

The tart lemon halves are the perfect finishing touch!

16. Grandma’s Sour Cream Sugar Cookies Recipe

This recipe is a little different than the ones above.

Unlike us, they don’t have any of the buttery, sweet taste that you get from using butter.

And while they’re not quite as soft and melt-in-your-mouth as those, they are just as tasty.
