Preparation Instructions

  1. 1

    Combine Ingredients

    In a mixing bowl, pour the 2 cups of heavy cream and add 1 cup of buttermilk.

  2. 2

    Mix Well

    Whisk the cream and buttermilk together until they are well combined. Ensure there are no lumps.

  3. 3

    Add Salt

    Add 1 teaspoon of salt to the mixture and whisk again until the salt is fully dissolved.

  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 about 12-24 hours, depending on how tangy you want your sour cream.

  5. 5

    Check Consistency

    After the resting period, check the consistency. It should be thickened and creamy.

  6. 6

    Refrigerate

    Once it has thickened to your liking, transfer the sour cream to an airtight container and refrigerate. It will continue to thicken as it cools.
