Method

Lightly grease a large, shallow dish and arrange the easy peeler slices inside, in a single layer, with any juice; set aside.
Heat a wide, heavy-based frying pan over a medium-high heat. Add the sugar and melt without stirring, swirling the pan occasionally. Heat for 3-4 mins more until it’s a dark amber caramel. Pour over the easy peeler slices and set aside.
Mix the flour, bicarbonate of soda, cocoa powder and the easy peeler zest in a mixing bowl. Make a small well in the middle and crack in the egg. Gradually add the milk, whisking as you do so, to create a smooth batter.
Melt 5g butter in a large nonstick frying pan over a medium-low heat. Working in batches, spoon 1 tbsp batter per pancake into the pan. Cook for 1½-2 mins until small bubbles appear on the surface, then flip and cook for 1 min more or until crisp on the outside. Transfer to a plate and cover to keep warm, then repeat to make 12 pancakes, adding another 5g butter between batches.
Serve with the yogurt and caramelised easy peeler slices, including any juices. Scatter with the flaked almonds to serve.
