Ingredients
- For the Batter:
- 1 cup full-fat milk (warm)
- 2 free-range eggs
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoons cornflour (cornstarch)
- 1/2 cup plain flour
- 2 tablespoons caster sugar
- Yellow food coloring (optional)
- For the Filling:
- 2 ripe mangoes, peeled and sliced
- 1 cup double cream (heavy cream), whipped
- For Garnish:
- Icing sugar, for dusting
- Fresh mint or basil (optional)
Instructions
- In a bowl, whisk together eggs, warm milk, melted butter, and vanilla extract until frothy.
- Gradually whisk in cornflour, plain flour, caster sugar, and yellow food coloring (if using) until smooth and lump-free.
- Heat a non-stick pan over medium heat with a small amount of butter. Pour in a thin layer of batter and swirl to coat. Cook for 1–2 minutes until the top is set but not browned.
- Let pancake cool slightly. Spread a layer of whipped cream on the cooked side, place mango slices in the center, fold edges in, and roll or fold closed seam-side down.
- Return folded pancake to the pan seam-side down to warm slightly, about 1 minute.
- Dust with icing sugar and garnish with mint or basil. Serve immediately.
Notes
- Use Alphonso or Chaunsa mangoes for the best flavor.
- Substitute strawberries, bananas, or peaches for mango.
- Add nuts or spices like cinnamon to the batter for variation.
- For a vegan version, use flax eggs and plant-based whipped cream.
- To store, wrap pancakes individually and refrigerate for 1 day or freeze for up to 3 months.
