Preparation Steps

  1. 1

    Combine Ingredients

    In a mixing bowl, combine the heavy cream and buttermilk.

  2. 2

    Mix Together

    Using a whisk or a hand mixer, mix the heavy cream and buttermilk together until well combined.

  3. 3

    Add Salt

    Stir in the salt to the mixture to enhance the flavor.

  4. 4

    Cover and Let Sit

    Cover the bowl with a clean kitchen towel or plastic wrap and let it sit at room temperature for 24 hours. This allows the mixture to thicken and develop a tangy flavor.

  5. 5

    Check Consistency

    After 24 hours, check the consistency. If it's thickened to your liking, give it a good stir.

  6. 6

    Refrigerate

    Transfer the sour cream to an airtight container and refrigerate. It will keep for about 1-2 weeks.
