Personal Notes:
Personal Notes:
Crème fraîche is thicker, has a richer flavor, and is less tangy than sour cream. While sour cream and crème fraîche are both used to add richness and tangy flavor, they really are not the same thing.

If want to make larger batch just put 1 part buttermilk to 2 parts cream.
