Main Ingredients
Method
Preparation Steps
- 1
Combine Heavy Cream and Buttermilk
In a mixing bowl, combine 2 cups of heavy cream and 1 cup of buttermilk. Stir the mixture gently until well blended.
- 2
Add Salt
Add 1 teaspoon of salt to the mixture. This will enhance the flavor of the sour cream.
- 3
Cover and Let Sit
Cover the bowl with a clean kitchen towel or plastic wrap. Let the mixture sit at room temperature for 12 to 24 hours. This allows the culture from the buttermilk to ferment the heavy cream.
- 4
Check Consistency
After the resting period, check the consistency of the sour cream. It should be thick and creamy. If it's not thick enough, let it sit for an additional few hours.
- 5
Refrigerate
Once the desired consistency is achieved, transfer the sour cream to an airtight container and refrigerate. It will keep for about 1-2 weeks in the fridge.
