• 1. To make the creme fraiche: Whisk all of the ingredients together in a small bowl. Cover and let stand at room temperature for at least 1 hour. (If you have the time, refrigerate the creme fraiche mixture overnight. Let stand at room temperature for 1 hour before serving.)
• 2. To make the bread pudding: Position a rack in the center of the oven and preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Lightly butter a 9-by-13-inch baking dish. Have ready a large roasting pan to hold the baking dish.

Bake for 30 minutes. Uncover and bake until the pudding is barely browned and feels set when pressed gently in the center, about 30 minutes more. Remove from the roasting pan and let stand for 5 minutes.
• 5. Meanwhile, make the syrup: Whisk all of the ingredients together in a medium saucepan. Bring to a simmer over medium heat. Remove from the heat and keep warm.
