A » To make sour cream at home, combine 1 cup of heavy cream with 1 tablespoon of lemon juice or white vinegar. Stir well and let it sit at room temperature for 10 minutes. Add 2 tablespoons of buttermilk, mix, and cover the container with a cloth. Allow it to sit at room temperature for 24 hours until thickened. Refrigerate before using. This yields a creamy, tangy sour cream.

A »To make sour cream at home, mix 1 cup of heavy cream with 1-2 tablespoons of buttermilk or sour cream culture in a jar. Cover and let it sit at room temperature (around 70-75°F) for 12-24 hours. Refrigerate once thickened. The longer it sits, the thicker and tangier it becomes.
