Preparation Steps

  1. 1

    Combine Ingredients

    In a clean glass jar or bowl, pour in 1 cup of heavy cream.

  2. 2

    Add Buttermilk

    Add 2 tablespoons of buttermilk to the heavy cream.

  3. 3

    Mix Well

    Using a whisk or a spoon, stir the heavy cream and buttermilk together until well combined.

  4. 4

    Cover and Ferment

    Cover the jar or bowl loosely with a lid or a clean kitchen towel. Let it sit at room temperature (about 70°F to 75°F) for 12 to 24 hours, or until it thickens and develops a tangy flavor.

  5. 5

    Refrigerate

    Once thickened, stir the sour cream again, then transfer it to the refrigerator. Chill for at least 2 hours before using.
