Description

Here’s how to make sour cream at home! All you need is 2 ingredients and 24 hours to wait for the cream to thicken. It’s kitchen magic!


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1/4 cup buttermilk
  • 1 cup heavy whipping cream

Instructions

  1. Place the ingredients in a covered container, and let them sit in a warm area for 24 hours. The lactic acid bacteria in the buttermilk ferments the cream, causing it to thicken.
  2. Uncover and stir. Place the mixture in the refrigerator; it stores for up to 2 weeks.
