Description

Creme fraiche is so versatile, easy and inexpensive to make at home there is no reason not to make this part of your regular kitchen routine.


Ingredients

Scale

2 cups cream

1/2 cup buttermilk


Instructions

In a clean container, stir together the cream and buttermilk.

Leave uncovered at room temperature overnight (12-24 hours).  The warmer it is the thicker and richer the creme fraiche will be in the morning.

Stir well.  There may be a thicker layer on top, stir that in.  Cover and refrigerate.

That’s all there is to it!
