Homemade pastries always turn out delicious, and the icing will make it also beautiful. A decoration made of sour cream does not dry out and does not crumble, and you can easily apply it on a cake or cake with a spatula.
Sour cream icing - basic principles of preparation
Even a novice housewife can cook glaze from sour cream. For this, you do not need to have special culinary skills.
There are many recipes for making this decoration. Glaze is prepared on the basis of cream, sour cream, milk and even water. For flavor, add vanilla or citrus juice to it. The recipe is chosen depending on the result that they want to get. So, the glaze on the water will have a soft matte shade. The coating will gain shine if butter is added to the composition.
Glaze can be prepared in different colors by adding cocoa or a natural dye to it.
The coating ingredients are combined and mixed. The dishes with the mixture are put on a slow fire and cook, stirring continuously, until you get a homogeneous mixture without lumps.
How well the icing will lie on the surface of the cake or cake depends on when you apply it. Too hot glaze will drain. The mass should cool slightly, then it can be applied evenly with a spatula. Putting the cooled icing on the dessert beautifully will not work, as it will lay down in lumps.

Too thick glaze can be diluted with milk, or add more sour cream.
If the glaze is too liquid, correct this deficiency with flour or starch.
Mirror icing pastries are watered, but, in no case do not apply with a spoon or spatula.
