Chefs Allison Vines-Rushing & Slade Rushing were credited as contributors & the recipe included this description: "When they are not adding a Southern ingredient to a French recipe, chefs Allison Vines-Rushing & Slade Rushing are adding a French ingredient to a Southern recipe. For this recipe, crème fraîche replaces buttermilk in these extremely fluffy biscuits." The recipe yield is approx 22 biscuits & is not easily halved as it uses 1 egg, but any extra biscuits can be frozen for later use. Time does not include 30 min chill time. Enjoy!

CREME FRAICHE
This is very much like sour cream yet it is softer and has a little more tang. Use it to garnish anything from pies to soup. Try whipping it with a little bit of sugar for tangy whipped cream!

- Bake the biscuits in a hot oven. This will help them rise quickly and evenly.
- Serve the biscuits warm with your favorite toppings.
