Ingredients

1 cup heavy cream
2 tablespoons buttermilk

Directions

In a bowl, combine the cream and buttermilk. Cover with a clean kitchen cloth in a warm, draft-free place and let sit until thickened, but still a pourable consistency, 12 to 16 hours. Stir and refrigerate until ready to use. (Can be refrigerated for up to 1 week.)

Great in a Pinch
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

We live in a small town and creme fraiche is not available in the grocery stores. This was a great way to get the ingredients... I needed for the dish I was preparing. I just had to plan ahead since the mixture has to set out for several hours. It also firms up gret after refrigeration.Read more

Homemade Creme Fraiche Recipe
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

Easy on me; I am new at cooking. Well I did not followed the instructions from Emeril's recipe, maybe I should have, but it... did not come out right. Here is what I did, can someone let me know what went wrong. 1)-I poured 17.6 ounces of heavy cream in a sauce pan and heated it to about 98 degrees F. 2)-poured the heavy cream in a glass container and added 1 ounce of buttermilk. 3)-stirred and covered with a tea towel. For 24 hours it sat out but never really thickened. The only thing I can thick of was that the buttermilk was cold when I poured it in. Can use help!!Read more
