I had Nigella Lawson on the list already but I added Jamie Oliver.

I was not aware that the British didn't eat pancakes for breakfast. I think they have it right. At least for ME pancakes in the morning is such a massive carbohydrate overload that I'm dragging a few hours later.

I'm wondering how carlo’s recipe would be substituting Creme fraiche for the sour cream?

Sounds as it would work I have been using creme fraise for quite a few things that otherwise I would use double (heavy) cream.

On the subject of pancakes real British ones are very thin not as thin as the French crepes but more that size and do not have any raising ingredients in them and us Brits always like to have a go at tossing them.

Christmas cakes out of the oven and now on rack cooling before I prick them and sprinkle brandy over then wrap in baking parchment and foil and put away for several months. I will feed them with brandy every 2 or 3 weeks though.
