  • 280g/10oz brandy butter
  • 25g/1oz caster sugar, plus extra for serving
  • 2 oranges, zest and juice only
  • 2 tbsp of brandy, plus extra for serving
  • 2 clementines, peeled and segmented

  3. Melt the remaining brandy butter in the pan. Whisk it into the sauce then pour over the pancakes.
  4. To serve, sprinkle the pancakes with a little more sugar, add the clementines and douse in more brandy. For a finishing touch, set fire to it just before serving.
