oops I've run out of creme fraiche. Do you think I can substitute yoghurt?

[SpawnChorus]

Recipe requires 3 tbs to me mixed in with pie filling. What do you think?

[SpawnChorus]

be not me!

[itsmeolord]

I have done before. I do it as late in the process as possible.

[Iklboo]

As long as it's not a strawberry yoghurt

[TheDMshouldbeRivened]

creme frache same as sour cream isn't it? Which is a pointless peice of information I know
bung it in and see what happens...

[midnightexpress]

Problem will be that it might curdle and split when it gets hot. Creme fraiche doesn't but yogurt much more likely to.

[MrsBadger]

hmm, I would do it if it was a 'stir in at the end' type as yog sometimes separates during cooking

will still taste good even if separated though

[TaxiLady]

yoghurt may split if it get too hot...i think you can stir in a little cornflour to combat this

but i'd give it a whirl either way.

[SpawnChorus]

Well it's to go in a pie, so I can't stir it in at the end. Perhaps I should leave it out? NB - the pie is a sausage meat pie... I suppose it will look like a pork pie...i.e. no runny sauce. Perhaps that would disguise any splitting?

[ABetaDad]

I mix 50:50 double cream and yoghurt and made a very nice creme fraiche.

[SpawnChorus]

taxilady - yes, I had considered cornflour...think I'll give that a go.

[CybilLiberty]

creme fraiche not the same as sour cream. I would leave it out .

[TheDMshouldbeRivened]

isnt it. says so onna diet shett

[CybilLiberty]

in terms of dietry stuff it may be , but not how it is in cooking ime.

[TaxiLady]

i love créme fraiche

[CybilLiberty]

ooh me too. I bung it in my lasagne with cheese instead of making a white sauce

[TaxiLady]

i eat it with a spoon from the tub [fatface]

[TaxiLady]

ooh yes, i forgot about that, for cheese sauce, have done that for caulicheese before now!

lazy fish pie here we come.....save faffing with a bechamel :O

[SpawnChorus]

I decided to miss it out...fingers crossed!
