🐉 Dragon’s Tip

Adding the sour cream at the end prevents the sauce from splitting and keeps it beautifully smooth.

📜 Lore of the Hoard

In the northern settlement of Snowveil, merchants arriving from distant lands would gather in crowded taverns to exchange news, supplies, and stories of distant adventures. One innkeeper became famous for preparing a creamy beef dish that could feed travellers quickly without sacrificing flavour. The recipe spread throughout the White Dragon territories and remains a staple of roadside inns where warm meals and good company are treasured almost as highly as dragon gold. ⚪🐉
