Method
Preparation
- 1
Combine Heavy Cream and Buttermilk
In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine 2 cups of heavy cream with 1 cup of buttermilk. Whisk the mixture until well combined.
- 2
Add Lemon Juice and Salt
Add 1 tablespoon of lemon juice and 1 teaspoon of salt to the cream and buttermilk mixture. Whisk again to ensure that all ingredients are evenly incorporated.
- 3
Cover and Let Sit
Cover the bowl with plastic wrap or a clean kitchen towel. Allow the mixture to sit at room temperature for about 12 to 24 hours. This will enable the mixture to thicken and develop its sour flavor.

Check Consistency
After the resting period, check the consistency of the sour cream. It should be thick and creamy. If it is not thick enough, let it sit for a few more hours.
- 5
Store the Sour Cream
Once the desired thickness is achieved, transfer the sour cream to an airtight container and store it in the refrigerator. It will keep fresh for up to 2 weeks.
