Ingredients

200 g plain flour
1 Tbsp. baking powder
2 Tbsp. caster sugar
2 large eggs, separated
175 ml milk
40 g butter, melted, plus extra to cook
2 oranges
8 slices streaky bacon

For the cinnamon butter

75 g butter, softened
3 Tbsp. maple syrup, plus extra to serve
2 1/2 tsp. ground cinnamon

Directions

1. Step 1To make the cinnamon butter, whisk all the ingredients together in a bowl until smooth and fluffy. Set aside.
2. Step 2Mix flour, baking powder, sugar and 1/2tsp salt in a bowl. In a jug, whisk the egg yolks, milk and butter together. Finely zest the oranges and stir into the jug. Pour into flour mixture and stir gently until just combined. In a separate bowl (with a clean whisk), beat egg whites to soft peaks and fold gently into the batter.
3. Step 3Heat a large non-stick frying pan over medium heat and brush with a little butter. Spoon tablespoons of batter into the pan (spacing apart), spreading slightly the back of the spoon you'll need to cook in batches. Cook for 1-2min until bubbles appear on the surface, then flip and cook for another min until golden. Remove to a plate, cover and keep warm while you cook the remaining pancakes, wiping the pan and re-buttering between batches.
4. Step 4Meanwhile, fry or grill bacon until crisp. Cut the skin and pith off oranges and slice thinly. Serve pancakes with the bacon, cinnamon butter, orange slices and extra maple syrup, to drizzle.

GET AHEAD

Make the cinnamon butter up to 2 days ahead. Cover and chill. Allow to come to room temperature before serving.
