Ingredients

Scale

Dry Ingredients

  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • 1 tablespoon sugar
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt

Wet Ingredients

  • 1 large egg
  • 3/4 cup milk
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)

Additional Ingredients

  • 1 cup ripe mangoes, peeled and diced
  • Butter or oil for cooking

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Mangoes: Peel and dice ripe mangoes into small, bite-sized cubes to ensure even distribution and juicy pockets in your pancakes.
  2. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt to combine the leavening and base for your pancakes.
  3. Combine Wet Ingredients: In another bowl, beat the egg, milk, and vanilla extract until smooth, then pour this into the dry ingredients. Stir gently until just combined, being careful not to overmix to maintain fluffiness.
  4. Fold in Mango Chunks: Gently fold the diced mango into your batter, evenly distributing without smashing the fruit to keep lovely mango pockets intact.
  5. Cook the Pancakes: Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat and lightly grease with butter or oil. Pour 1/4 cup of batter for each pancake, spreading slightly if needed. Cook until bubbles form on the surface and edges look set (about 2-3 minutes), flip, and cook the other side until golden brown and fully cooked through.
  6. Serve Warm: Stack the pancakes on a plate and serve immediately for optimal texture and flavor.

Notes

  • Use ripe mangoes for the sweetest and juiciest flavor infusion.
  • Mix the batter only until ingredients are just combined to keep pancakes tender, not tough.
  • Cook pancakes over medium heat for a golden crust and fluffy interior.
  • Let the batter rest for 5 minutes before cooking to improve texture.
  • Fresh mango is preferred over canned for best taste and texture.
