Description
Thin, crepe-like pancakes wrapped around whipped cream and sweet mango slices. These mango pancakes are light, fruity, and elegant — perfect as a dessert or brunch treat.
Ingredients
- Pancakes (Crepes):
- 1 cup all‑purpose flour
- 1 tbsp cornstarch
- 1 tbsp granulated sugar
- ¼ tsp salt
- 1 cup whole milk
- 2 large eggs
- ½ tsp vanilla extract
- 1 tbsp melted butter
- Yellow food coloring (optional, for appearance)
- Filling:
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 2 tbsp powdered sugar
- ½ tsp vanilla extract
- 2 ripe mangoes, peeled and sliced
Instructions
- In a bowl, whisk together flour, cornstarch, sugar, and salt.
- In another bowl, combine milk, eggs, vanilla, and melted butter. Gradually whisk wet ingredients into dry until smooth. Add a few drops of yellow food coloring if desired.
- Heat a non-stick skillet over medium (or medium-low). Pour a small amount of batter and swirl to coat the bottom with a thin layer.
- Cook 1–2 minutes until set; flip and cook ~30 seconds. (Many Hong Kong-style versions cook only one side so the top remains smooth) :contentReference[oaicite:0]{index=0}
- Repeat with remaining batter, stacking between parchment to prevent sticking.
- Whip the cream with powdered sugar and vanilla until soft peaks form.
- To assemble: place a pancake, add a spoonful of whipped cream and a few mango slices, fold or roll to enclose the filling. Chill for ~20–30 minutes so the filling sets. :contentReference[oaicite:1]{index=1}
- Slice (if desired) and serve chilled or at room temperature.
Notes
- These “pancakes” are really thin crepes, deliberately soft so they wrap without cracking. :contentReference[oaicite:2]{index=2}
- Some versions cook only one side to keep the outward surface smooth and unmarked. :contentReference[oaicite:3]{index=3}
- Resting batter (in the refrigerator for 30–60 min) can help the flour hydrate and produce more tender crepes. :contentReference[oaicite:4]{index=4}
- Use very ripe, juicy mango for best flavor and texture.
- Work gently — these pancakes are delicate when warm.
