Ingredients
Scale
Dry Ingredients
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon sugar
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
Wet Ingredients
- 1/2 cup milk
- 1 large egg
- 1/2 cup mango puree
- 1 tablespoon butter, melted
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
For Cooking
- 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
Instructions
- Combine Dry Ingredients: In a medium-sized bowl, mix together the all-purpose flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. Whisk thoroughly to ensure the mixture is even and lump-free.
- Prepare Wet Ingredients: In another bowl, beat the egg lightly with a whisk, then add milk and continue whisking until smooth. Stir in the mango puree, melted butter, and vanilla extract until fully combined.
- Mix Batter: Gradually pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients, gently folding with a spoon or spatula. Stir just until all ingredients are combined; avoid overmixing to keep the pancakes light.
- Preheat Skillet and Add Oil: Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat, adding the vegetable oil once hot to prevent sticking.
- Cook Pancakes – First Side: Pour batter onto the skillet to form pancakes of your preferred size. Cook for 2-3 minutes until bubbles form on the surface and the edges set.
- Cook Pancakes – Second Side: Flip the pancakes carefully with a spatula and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes or until the pancakes are golden brown and cooked through.
- Serve Warm: Remove pancakes from the skillet, place on a plate, and repeat with remaining batter, adding more oil as needed. Serve warm with your favorite toppings such as syrup, fresh fruit, or yogurt.
Notes
- Use ripe mangoes for a naturally sweet and flavorful puree.
- Do not overmix the batter to avoid tough pancakes.
- The skillet should be hot before adding batter to ensure even cooking and browning.
- Adjust cooking times slightly depending on pancake size and skillet heat.
- Optional toppings include honey, fresh fruit, or a dollop of whipped cream.
