How to Make Sour CreamInstructions for how to make sour cream couldn't get much simpler! If you've been wanting to experiment with homemade cultured milk products, this is a good one to try. Only two ingredients, and 24 hours later you'll be enjoying delicious, homemade sour cream for your baked potato, soups and casseroles, or other dishes. To make sour cream, you'll need:
Warm the cream to approximately 75° F. Add the buttermilk, and stir to mix thoroughly. Cover, and leave at room temperature for about 24 hours. Transfer to a storage container, refrigerate and serve. The sour cream will thicken as it cools.
I've also made sour cream using 2 Tbsp. of freshly made kefir with 1 cup of cream. Leave at room temperature for 24 hours, then refrigerate. This makes a wonderfully thick and silky smooth product that is slightly sweeter than that made with buttermilk.
If you prefer, you can also use a direct-set culture for making sour cream. Flora Danica mesophilic starter culture from TheCheeseMaker.com is a versatile choice that can be used for making sour cream, as well as Havarti, Baby Swiss, Gouda, Edam, Blue, Goats Milk Cheese, buttermilk, cream cheese, cottage cheese, Crème Fraiche, and cultured butter.

You'll find Flora Danica under "Cheese Cultures & Additives" from TheCheeseMaker.com home page. By using whole milk instead of cream in any of the above methods, you can get the sour cream taste in a thinner version that is especially good for making cream-based soups.
