ingredients

(Tip: You’ll find the full list of ingredients and measurements in the recipe card below.)

• 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour

• 1 tablespoon sugar

• 2 teaspoons baking powder

• 1/2 teaspoon salt

• 1 egg

• 1 cup milk

• 1/2 cup mango puree

• 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

directions

1. Prepare the dry ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.

2. Mix the wet ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the egg, milk, mango puree, and vanilla extract until smooth.

3. Combine wet and dry ingredients: Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; the batter should still be slightly lumpy.

4. Cook the pancakes: Heat a pan or griddle over medium heat and lightly grease it with butter or oil. Pour 1/4 cup of the batter onto the pan for each pancake. Cook until bubbles form on the surface, then flip and cook for another 2-3 minutes until golden brown on both sides.

5. Serve: Serve the pancakes with extra mango slices and a drizzle of syrup for a tropical breakfast delight!

FAQs

Can I use frozen mango puree?

Yes, frozen mango puree works perfectly for this recipe. Just thaw it before using in the batter.

Can I make the batter ahead of time?

Yes, you can prepare the batter ahead of time and store it in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours. Stir it gently before using, as the ingredients may settle.

Can I use a different type of milk?

Absolutely! Feel free to use any milk you prefer, such as almond milk, oat milk, or coconut milk, for a dairy-free version.

How do I know when the pancakes are done cooking?

The pancakes are done when the edges are set, and the center is firm to the touch. You should also see bubbles forming on the surface before flipping.

How can I make these pancakes even fluffier?

For extra fluffy pancakes, you can separate the egg yolk and white, beat the egg white until stiff peaks form, and then fold it into the batter at the end.
