Start by preparing the citrus compound butter. Use softened salted butter, zest an orange and a lemon into the butter, and add a little juice from both.

Mix the zest and juice into the butter, taste, and adjust sweetness with liquid stevia if desired.

Set the compound butter aside and move on to the bourbon maple whipped cream.

Chill a bowl and one cup of heavy whipping cream in the refrigerator.

Add half a teaspoon of maple extract and bourbon to the chilled cream, then start whipping.

Add liquid stevia to taste, adjusting sweetness as needed while whipping until thick with stiff peaks.

Set the whipped cream aside in the refrigerator.

For the pancakes, mix all dry ingredients: coconut flour, baking powder, xanthan gum, salt, and unflavored whey protein powder in a bowl.

In a separate bowl, whisk two eggs, then mix in two tablespoons of melted unsalted butter and two teaspoons of vanilla extract.

Add club soda to the egg mixture for fluffiness without imparting flavor.

Combine the wet and dry ingredients until smooth, ensuring no streaks of egg remain.

Heat a skillet over medium heat and add a little butter to coat the pan.

Pour batter into the skillet to form pancakes of desired size.

Cook until bubbles form on the surface, about 2-3 minutes, then flip and cook until golden brown on the other side, about 2-3 minutes.

Repeat with remaining batter, adding more butter as needed.
