Ingredients
  

For the Batter
  • 1 cup Full Fat Milk Provides moisture and richness for the best mango pancakes; avoid low-fat for optimal texture.
  • 1 cup Plain Flour Acts as the main structure for the pancake; no substitutions for desired fluffiness are recommended.
  • 2 tablespoons Cornflour (Cornstarch) Gives the pancakes their light, fluffy texture essential for that delicate bite.
  • 2 tablespoons Icing Sugar (Powdered Sugar) Sweetens the batter and helps achieve a smooth surface; granulated sugar can alter texture.
  • 2 large Eggs Binds ingredients and provides essential structure; cold eggs ensure the best results.
  • a couple of drops Yellow Food Coloring Enhances the signature pale yellow color; optional for a natural hue.
  • Canola Oil Spray Prevents the pancakes from sticking during cooking; any neutral cooking spray works well.
For the Filling
  • 2 ripe Mangoes Fresh fruit that adds vibrant sweetness; use ripe varieties for maximum flavor.
  • 1 cup Thickened/Heavy Cream Adds creamy richness to the filling; ensure it's cold for easy whipping.
  • a splash Vanilla Extract Introduces depth to the cream filling; although optional, it beautifully enhances the flavor.

Equipment

  • Mixing bowl
  • non-stick skillet
  • Electric mixer
  • Spatula

Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. In a mixing bowl, whisk together full-fat milk, plain flour, cornflour, and icing sugar until completely smooth. Crack in the eggs and add yellow food coloring if desired, mixing until the batter reaches a thin, pourable consistency.
  2. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and place it in the refrigerator for 1 hour.
  3. Preheat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and lightly coat with canola oil spray. Pour a small amount of batter into the skillet and swirl to coat evenly. Cook for about 45 seconds to 1 minute, until the edges begin to lift.
  4. Gently flip the pancake and cook for an additional 30 seconds. Remove from the skillet and cool completely.
  5. In a clean mixing bowl, whip the cold thickened cream with icing sugar and vanilla extract until stiff peaks form.
  6. Lay one crepe flat, spread whipped cream over it, arrange mango slices on top, then fold and roll to encase the filling.
  7. Serve immediately for the freshest taste and best texture, drizzled with honey or maple syrup if desired.

Notes

Cooling the pancakes before adding filling is key to prevent whipped cream from melting. Always rest the batter and use fresh ingredients for the best results.
