Ingredient questions

Sour cream FAQ.

How many grams are in a cup of sour cream?

King Arthur Baking lists 227g for 1 US cup of sour cream.

Should sour cream be packed into a cup?

Do not compress it like brown sugar. Spoon it in evenly, smooth the top, and avoid trapping large air pockets.

Can yogurt replace sour cream by weight?

They can behave differently because acidity, fat, and thickness vary. Follow the recipe's tested substitution rather than assuming the cup weights are interchangeable.
