Excellent. It's nice to be able to make this instead of having to run to the store. -
Yay! One more Mexican ingredient that I don't have to travel an hour to get - thanks, Mean Chef! It was a little tough to convince Dad (Mr. Extreme Food Paranoia)that I wasn't trying to kill him with food poisoning by leaving dairy products out for hours, but he quite willingly gobbled up the sopes that the crema was sitting on in the end. It passed the Mexican DH test with flying colors,too. I added about 1/2 tsp. coarse salt once the crema was set up, because the store-bought brand I used to use is salted. Now, if I could just master tortillas...
