Has anyone tried making their own sour cream?

Has anyone tried making homemade sour cream before? I just discovered that cultured butter is essentially sour cream or crème fraîche that’s been churned.

Coming from a South Asian family, we always have homemade yogurt culture available. So, I decided to give it a try! I grabbed some good quality, albeit simple, heavy cream and made it just like yogurt.

Wow, it turned out amazing! It’s perfect for all sorts of sour cream recipes, and once you’re done using it, you can churn the leftovers to make butter.

  1. That sounds amazing! Making your own sour cream is such a great idea, especially if you already have yogurt culture on hand. The freshness must really elevate the flavor compared to store-bought. Plus, the bonus of churning it into butter makes it even more worthwhile! Have you experimented with any specific recipes or dishes using your homemade sour cream yet? I’d love to hear how it turned out!
