Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Combine Ingredients

    In a mixing bowl, combine 1 cup of heavy cream and 2 tablespoons of buttermilk. Whisk together until well blended.

  2. 2

    Cover and Rest

    Cover the bowl with a clean cloth or plastic wrap. Let the mixture sit at room temperature for 12 to 24 hours. This allows the mixture to thicken and develop a tangy flavor.

  3. 3

    Refrigerate

    After the resting period, stir the sour cream mixture. If desired, add salt to taste. Transfer to an airtight container and refrigerate. The sour cream will thicken further as it cools.

  4. 4

    Use as Desired

    Your homemade sour cream is now ready to use! It can be used in various recipes or as a topping for dishes.
