Ingredients
Scale
Pancake Batter
- 2 eggs
- 2 tbsp cornstarch (levelled off)
- 2 tbsp all purpose flour (levelled off)
- 3 tbsp icing sugar (levelled off)
- 1 tbsp butter (melted)
- Pinch salt
Filling
- 1 cup whipping cream (35% M.F)
- 1 mango, ripened, peeled and sliced into 5 pieces approx. 2 x 1-inch long each
Instructions
- Prepare Pancake Batter: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together eggs, cornstarch, all purpose flour, icing sugar, melted butter, and a pinch of salt until the batter is smooth and well combined.
- Pan-fry Pancakes: Heat a non-stick pan over low heat. Pour about 1/3 cup of the pancake batter into the center of the pan and let it take its natural shape without swirling into a thin crepe. Fry on ONE side only for approximately 4 minutes, or until you notice bubbles forming on the surface. Avoid flipping the pancake. Remove and transfer to a cooling rack.
- Whip the Cream: In a large mixing bowl, pour the whipping cream. Use a hand mixer starting at low speed and gradually increasing to medium-high speed to beat the cream until stiff peaks form.
- Assemble Pancakes: Lay each cooled pancake with the yellow side down and the pan-fried side up. Place a slice of mango in the center. Spread about 1/4 cup of whipped cream over the mango, shaping it into a rectangle. Roll the pancake into a roll, folding in the edges. It’s normal if the edges don’t stick fully.
- Serve: Turn the rolled pancake so the seamless side is facing up. Using a sharp paring knife, cut the pancake in the middle. Rinse the knife between cuts if necessary. Serve the mango pancakes cold and enjoy!
Notes
- Do not flip the pancakes during frying; only fry on one side to achieve the proper texture.
- Use a non-stick pan and low heat to prevent burning and ensure even cooking.
- The cream should be whipped to stiff peaks for best filling consistency.
- Serving the pancakes cold enhances the flavor and texture contrast between creamy filling and soft pancake.
- Fresh ripe mango is crucial to achieving the authentic sweet flavor.
