Instructions
Note: This recipe yields 2 cups of sour cream. Use a large mason jar or a small bowl for this recipe which can hold more than 2 cups. You will need to cover it with a paper towel or cheesecloth, and secure with a large rubber band or tape Combine all ingredients in the jar or bowl and whisk to mix everything together and get rid of any lumps Cover the bowl or jar with cheesecloth or a paper towel, and secure with tape or a large rubber band. It is important to allow air to flow, so please don't use a lid Leave the container at room temperature for 24 hours. This will allow it to ferment and turn into sour cream The next day, remove the paper towel or cheesecloth and give the sour cream a stir. It should be thick and ready to use! Once you refrigerate the sour cream, it will become a thicker consistency just like store-bought sour cream Keep the sour cream in the fridge in an airtight container for up to 2 weeks. You can easily double or triple this recipe based on how frequently you use sour cream in your cooking or bakingView original recipe
