At a glance
You're looking at a cozy autumn breakfast that comes together in just over half an hour. The trickiest part is making the salted caramel from scratch—watch it carefully as it caramelizes, then slowly whisk in the warm cream so it stays silky smooth. Once that's done, whipping up the pumpkin pancake batter is straightforward, and you'll have fluffy, spiced pancakes ready to serve with homemade fromage frais, that gorgeous caramel, and a sprinkle of nuts.

Pour in the cream
Take the pan off the heat and, stirring constantly, slowly pour in the warm cream. If the cream doesn't blend in easily and the caramel seems to separate, you'll end up with a thick caramel - if that happens, just put it back over low heat for a moment to warm through.
