Sour Cream Recipe

Preparation

1. 1

   Combine Ingredients

   In a clean glass jar or mixing bowl, combine 2 cups of heavy cream with 1 cup of buttermilk. Stir gently to mix well.

2. 2

   Cover and Let Sit

   Cover the jar or bowl loosely with a clean cloth or lid to allow air to circulate. Let the mixture sit at room temperature for 12 to 24 hours until it thickens and becomes tangy.

3. 3

   Check Consistency

   After the resting period, check the consistency of the sour cream. It should be thick and creamy. If it’s not thick enough, let it sit for a few more hours.

4. 4

   Refrigerate

   Once the sour cream has reached your desired thickness, stir it well and transfer it to the refrigerator. It will continue to thicken slightly as it chills.

5. 5

   Store

   Store the homemade sour cream in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.
