Method

In a large mixing bowl, stir together the dry ingredients for the pancakes until well combined. In a jug, combine the maple syrup, milk and beaten egg. Pour into the flour mixture and whisk until you have a smooth batter.
Brush a frying pan with a little sunflower oil, then heat. Add large spoonfuls of batter to the hot pan for pancakes about 8cm wide – you will need to cook these in batches. Cook for 3-4 mins until bubbles form on the surface, then flip and cook for 1 min more, until golden.
For the sauce, gently heat the butter, orange juice and maple syrup, stirring until the butter has melted. Simmer for 2 mins until thickened. Add the orange zest and leave to stand and cool for 1 min. Serve the pancakes stacked, topped with Greek yoghurt and fresh orange and drizzled with the orange maple sauce.
