1
TO MAKE THE CREME FRAICHE: Pour the cream into a glass container or bowl.

Stir in the buttermilk, cover, and let the mixture sit in a warm spot until the mixture thickens to the consistency of sour cream, at least 8 hours and up to 24 hours.
3
Cover and refrigerate.

TO MAKE THE PANCAKES: In the work bowl of a food processor fitted with the metal blade or the jar of a blender, process the onion until pureed.
5
Add the avocado, egg, flour, baking powder, milk, salt, and pepper, and process until the mixture is creamy and resembles breakfast-pancake batter, about 4 minutes.
6
Set a large, lightly oiled skillet over medium-low heat.
7
Drop the pancake batter by tablespoonfuls about 1 inch apart onto the heated skillet.
8
Cook until the pancakes puff up, deflate slightly, and are lightly browned on both sides, 2 to 2 1/2 minutes per side.
9
TO ASSEMBLE THE PANCAKES: Top each warm pancake with 1 tablespoon of creme fraiche and 1 teaspoon of trout roe.
10
Serve immediately.
11
The creme fraiche will keep for 1 week in the refrigerator.

14
A number of vendors offer it online as well.
