Preparation Instructions

  1. 1

    Combine Ingredients

    In a mixing bowl, combine 1 cup of heavy cream and 1 tablespoon of buttermilk.

  2. 2

    Mix Thoroughly

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

  3. 3

    Let it Sit

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

  4. 4

    Check Consistency

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

  5. 5

    Refrigerate

    Once the sour cream has reached the desired thickness, stir it well and transfer it to an airtight container. Refrigerate for up to 2 weeks.
