small saucepan until reduced to 1/2 cup, about 20 minutes. Whisk cream and
mustard. (Can be prepared 1 day ahead. Cover and refrigerate.)
For Pancakes:
Whisk eggs and flour in large bowl to blend. Stir in chopped fennel bulb,
milk, chives, shallot, 2 teaspoons chopped tarragon and fennel seeds.
Season generously with salt and pepper. (Can be prepared 1 day ahead. Cover

Add scallops to same skillet. Season with salt and pepper and saute until
cooked through, about 1 minute. Remove from heat. Bring sauce to simmer in
