Sauces and Spices
1 cup whipping cream
2 tablespoons buttermilk
You can buy Crème Fraîche most of the time but this is such an easy way to make it.
From the recipe collection of Ian and Steph Smith
Whisk together the buttermilk and cream in a glass container. Cover with plastic wrap and let sit on counter for 24 to 48 hours until it has thickened.
After that, refrigerate until it is needed. Crème Fraîche will keep for about 2 weeks.
If you don't have buttermilk, just add a teaspoon of lemon juice to a half cup of whole milk, wait an hour, and you have buttermilk.
