Cuisine: Asian
Serves: 4 servings
Ingredients
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon sugar
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 cup milk
- 1 large egg
- 1 ripe mango, diced
- Butter, for cooking
Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour, sugar, baking powder, and baking soda to ensure a smooth, lump-free batter.
- Create a well in the center of the dry ingredients and crack the large egg into it. Pour in the milk gradually while whisking to combine, mixing until the batter is smooth and free of lumps.
- Peel and dice the ripe mango into small, uniform cubes. Set aside a few pieces for garnishing and fold the remaining mango pieces gently into the pancake batter.
- Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium-low heat. Add a small pat of butter and allow it to melt, coating the cooking surface evenly.
- Using a 1/4 cup measuring cup, pour the mango-studded batter onto the heated surface, allowing each pancake to cook until small bubbles form on the top surface.
- When the edges look dry and bubbles have formed (about 2-3 minutes), carefully flip the pancake and cook the other side for an additional 1-2 minutes until golden brown.
- Transfer cooked pancakes to a warm plate and repeat the process with remaining batter, adding butter to the pan as needed.
- Serve warm, garnished with the reserved fresh mango cubes. Optional: Drizzle with honey or top with a dollop of whipped cream for extra indulgence.
Tips
- Choose a ripe, fragrant mango for the best flavor and sweetness. The mango should yield slightly when gently pressed.
- Sifting dry ingredients is crucial for a smooth, lump-free batter that ensures light and airy pancakes.
- Cook pancakes on medium-low heat to prevent burning and achieve that perfect golden-brown color.
- Don't overmix the batter – mix just until ingredients are combined to keep the pancakes tender.
- Wait for bubbles to form on the surface before flipping to ensure even cooking.
- Keep cooked pancakes warm in a low-temperature oven (around 200°F) while preparing the remaining batch.
- For an extra indulgent touch, serve with a drizzle of honey, a sprinkle of powdered sugar, or a dollop of whipped cream.
