Found in the Cajun & Creole section of the Food & Wine website in an article titled "Great Recipes From Top New Orleans Chefs". 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!
