With creme fraiche as their central ingredient, these rich pancakes are perfect for a special brunch or celebratory breakfast.

Yield: 22 pancakes

Preparation Time: 20 minutes

Start to Finish Time: 20 minutes

  • 4 eggs
  • 1-3/4 cups creme fraiche
  • 1-1/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 3/4 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 tablespoon butter, for cooking
  • Garnish: Pineapple-Ginger or Fig-Walnut Toppings

Beat eggs lightly in a medium-size bowl; gently whisk in creme fraiche. In a separate bowl, combine dry ingredients. Add creme fraiche mixture to dry ingredients and whisk until just combined.

Heat a lightly buttered griddle or heavy skillet over moderately high heat. Ladle in batter, 1/8 cup at a time. Cook 2 to 3 minutes, until bubbles appear on the surface. Flip pancakes and cook 1 to 2 minutes longer. Repeat with remaining batter. Serve with either the Pineapple-Ginger or Fig-Walnut Topping.
