Sour cream sauce is a classic addition to Russian dishes, known for its tenderness and velvety texture. It has a mild, slightly tangy flavor from the sour cream that pairs well with meat, vegetables, and even some side dishes. The history of this sauce goes back centuries when Russian chefs sought ways to enrich the flavors of traditional dishes by adding simple yet refined ingredients. Butter and flour create the base while sour cream gives it a creamy structure. The sauce is perfect for serving with fried or stewed meat dishes and as a dressing for potato dishes. It's easy to make and enhances meals by adding a cozy touch of home cooking.
