A delightful treat that combines a tender pancake fried on one side with luscious whipped cream and sweet mango, perfect as a refreshing dessert or afternoon snack.

Ingredients

Scale

For the Pancake Batter:

  • 2 eggs
  • 2 tbsp all purpose flour (levelled off)
  • 2 tbsp cornstarch (levelled off)
  • 3 tbsp icing sugar (levelled off)
  • Pinch salt
  • 1 tbsp butter (melted)

For the Filling:

  • 1 cup whipping cream (35% M.F)
  • 1 mango (ripened, peeled, and sliced into 2 x 1-inch-long pieces to have 5 pieces)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the pancake batter: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, all purpose flour, cornstarch, icing sugar, salt, and melted butter until the mixture is smooth and well combined.
  2. Pan-fry the pancakes: Heat a non-stick pan over low heat and pour about 1/3 cup of the pancake batter into the center of the pan without swirling it out into a thin crepe. Let the batter form its natural shape and fry on only one side for about 4 minutes, until bubbles appear on the surface. Do not flip to cook the other side. Once done, transfer the pancake to a cooling rack. Repeat for remaining batter.
  3. Whip the cream: In a large mixing bowl, pour the heavy whipping cream. Using a hand mixer, beat on low speed initially, then gradually increase to medium-high speed until stiff peaks form.
  4. Assemble the mango pancake: Lay the cooked pancake yellow side down and the pan-fried side facing up. Place a piece of sliced mango in the middle of the pancake. Spread about 1/4 cup of stiff whipped cream over the mango in a rectangular shape. Carefully roll the pancake into a roll and fold in the edges; they may not stick perfectly, but this is normal.
  5. Slice and serve: Turn the pancake over so the seamless side is facing up, and gently cut it down the middle with a sharp paring knife. Rinse the knife between slices to ensure smooth cutting. Repeat this for all remaining pancakes. Serve the mango pancakes cold and enjoy!

Notes

  • Do not flip the pancake while frying; only cook on one side to achieve the signature texture.
  • The edges of the rolled pancake may not stick; this is typical and does not affect taste.
  • Use very ripe mangoes for the best sweetness and flavor.
  • Serve the pancakes chilled for a refreshing dessert experience.
  • Rinsing the knife between slicing helps maintain neat cuts and prevents the whipped cream from clumping.
