The text of your Crème Fraîche piece seems to be missing, not loading, or something. Until that’s fixed, crème fraîche is a soured cream, containing 28% butterfat, which delivers a less tart flavor than American style sour cream. Arguably its most classic use, and my favorite use, is as an accompaniment to caviar on toast points. The fatty creamy tartness provides balance to the salty little morsels. The higher fat content prevents it from curdling at higher temperatures, which makes it more useful than sour cream for finishing sauces and soups.
To make crème fraîche, combine 2 tablespoons of buttermilk with 1 pint of heavy cream in non-reactive container. Cover and allow to rest at room temperature until thickened to desired texture, about 12 hours. Store in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.
Thanks James! Great info.
It’s working now, good piece.
