Creme fraiche


Crème fraiche is particularly useful in finishing sauces in French cooking because it does not curdle. We can use it over fresh fruits as dippings. It is substituted for sour cream.
It is used in both savory and sweet dishes and makes a wonderful topping for fresh berries, cobblers and puddings. It can also be whipped, along with a little sugar, and used in place of whipped heavy cream.

Ingredients:-


Buttermilk- I tspn
Cream- one cup

Directions:-

Mix both of the ingredients and close with a cotton cloth overnight. Next day creme fresh ready.



Once the creme fraiche has thickened sufficiently, cover and place in the refrigerator. It will continue to thicken and take on a more tangy flavor as it ages. Creme fraiche will keep in the refrigerator for about 7-10 days. 

BON APPETITE :
