“I love the aroma of pumpkin, especially those spices, you know, and pancakes, they’re amazing,” Flay says in the video. “During the holidays, I have to have something with pumpkin and so pancakes is a really good way — especially for brunch.”

First, make sure you have all the ingredients on hand for this dessert-like breakfast. For the sauce, you’ll need cinnamon sticks, apple schnapps, heavy cream, and more. The pancakes require dark brown sugar, cinnamon, ground ginger, buttermilk, ricotta, and pumpkin puree among many other ingredients.

Next, start with the amazing sauce. Stir the cream, cinnamon, and other spices and ingredients in a medium saucepan. After bringing to a simmer, let steep while you make the caramel in another saucepan. Combine the two, straining the warm cream into the caramel, whisking constantly and being careful of the hot, bubbling caramel. Keep this warm in a bowl, or refrigerate it up to two days in advance and warm it up before serving.

When it’s time to make the pancakes, you’ll need two bowls. Whisk the dry ingredients in one and the wet ingredients in another. You’ll combine them, being careful not to overmix, and let sit for 15 minutes to an hour. Afterward, bake the pancakes like you normally would, then top with caramel sauce and a dollop of crème fraiche.
