Just take the milk with the highest percentage of fat content. You can also make the milk fatter by adding butter to it. To do this, the milk is heated and the oil is lowered into it. When the pieces of butter melt in warm milk, it is whipped for a few minutes with a blender.

From a liter of milk I got the amount as in the jar in the photo. Remember that homemade dairy products are stored less than store-bought ones, so do not do a lot at once, it's better to prepare a fresh portion. If you suddenly have unused sour cream, use it to make pancakes or pancakes. The most delicious sour cream will turn out if you make it from heavy cream, but the recipe will be completely different. At cost, sour cream from milk is much more budget-friendly.
