Dry Ingredients
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
Wet Ingredients
- 1 large egg
- 3/4 cup milk
- 2 tablespoons melted butter
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)
Main Flavor Ingredient
- 1 cup fresh ripe mango, diced
- Prepare Your Ingredients: Peel and dice fresh mango into small cubes. Measure out dry ingredients in one bowl and wet ingredients in another for smooth mixing.
- Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt to evenly distribute the leavening agents and sweetness.
- Combine Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, beat the egg, then stir in milk, melted butter, and vanilla extract until well combined and smooth.
- Make the Batter: Pour wet ingredients into dry and gently fold with a spatula until just combined; a few lumps are fine to keep pancakes tender.
- Add Mango Pieces: Carefully fold diced mango chunks into the batter, ensuring even distribution without breaking them up.
- Cook the Pancakes: Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat and lightly grease. Pour 1/4 cup batter per pancake onto the pan. Cook 2-3 minutes until bubbles form on top and edges set, then flip and cook another 2 minutes until golden brown.
- Serve Warm: Serve pancakes fresh off the griddle with your preferred toppings such as fresh mango slices, whipped cream, honey, or maple syrup.
Notes
- Use ripe mangoes for maximum sweetness and juiciness.
- Don’t overmix the batter to maintain a tender, light texture.
- Preheat the pan properly and cook over medium heat to avoid burning.
- Use a non-stick skillet or griddle for easy flipping and less oil.
- Keep cooked pancakes warm in a low oven until ready to serve.
