No. 2 percent milk is much too thin and lacks the fat and consistency needed to substitute for sour cream in any recipe. Low-Fat Yogurt would be a better substitute for sour cream.
Yes, the flavor may be slightly less rich, but the recipe itself should turn out fine.
If you do not have half and half you can substitute with one of two things. First you can use milk, though this will not be nearly as creamy and can effect both the taste and texture of what you are making. Alternatively, if you have heavy cream you can mix the cream with low-fat milk for homemade half and half.
Yes you can :) Substitute half water and half evaporated milk to replace the amount of real milk the recipe called for. So if the recipe called for 1 cup milk you would substitute a 1/2 cup water and a 1/2 cup evaporated milk.
You can, but the consistency will be changed. It will not be as creamy, and the flavor will be lighter. You can thicken it up a bit by adding a tablespoon of cornstarch for each 12 ounces of milk used.
Skim milk is made when all the cream (also called milkfat) is removed from whole milk. Whole milk has between 3 and 4% fat. 2% has the milkfat reduced to about half.
2 percent is nasty, drink whole, and more than one table spoon, drink like half of the gallon.
30 quarts of 2 percent 15 quarts of 5 percent
1 cup of 2% milk has about 5 grams of fat on average.
