Ingredients
8
oz
1 cup heavy cream
1
oz
2 Tablespoons buttermilk (full fat preferred)
Instructions
In a clean container, combine the cream and buttermilk.
Stir very well.
Cover the container and let sit out in a warm place until thickened, about 24-36 hours.
Refrigerate. The cream will continue to thicken as it chills.
Notes
Storing
: Use within 2 weeks. Although the acid in the creme fraiche will inhibit bacterial growth, you do not want to play around with food safety.
