We're diving into the world of Hong Kong-style Mango Pancakes, a delightful treat that's a harmony of textures and tastes. Inspired by the delectable creations of TikTok's CafeCouffee, I'm thrilled to guide you through crafting these fluffy, fruity, and utterly irresistible pancakes. Let's get started on this mango-infused journey!
Ingredients You'll Need:
For the Mango Pancakes:
- 2 ripe Pakistani mangoes (or your favorite variety)
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 cup whole milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Butter or oil for cooking
For the Mango Filling:
- 1 ripe Pakistani mango (or more)
- 2 tablespoons honey or condensed milk (for drizzling, optional)
Step-by-Step Instructions:
Step 1: Prepare the Mango Filling
- Peel and slice one ripe Pakistani mango (or more if you want extra filling).
- Set the mango slices aside. You can drizzle them with honey or condensed milk if you'd like to add extra sweetness.
Step 2: Mix Dry Ingredients
- Whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, salt, and granulated sugar in a mixing bowl. This forms the dry mixture for your pancakes.
Step 3: Combine Wet Ingredients
- In another bowl, beat the two large eggs.
- Add the whole milk and vanilla extract to the beaten eggs. Mix until well combined.
Step 4: Blend Dry and Wet Ingredients
- Pour the wet ingredients into the bowl with the dry ingredients. Gently fold them together until just combined. Be cautious not to overmix; a few lumps are perfectly fine.
Step 5: Cook the Pancakes
- Heat a non-stick skillet or frying pan over medium-low heat. Add a small amount of butter or oil to prevent sticking.
- Pour a ladleful of pancake batter onto the skillet to form a small, round pancake (about 4-5 inches in diameter).
- Cook until bubbles form on the surface, then flip and cook the other side until golden brown.
- Repeat this process for the remaining batter, adding more butter or oil to the pan as needed.
Step 6: Assemble the Mango Pancakes
- Place one cooked pancake on a plate.
- Layer it with slices of ripe Pakistani mango.
- Top with another pancake and repeat the mango layering.
- Place a third pancake on top, and if you'd like, add more mango slices on the very top.
Step 7: Serve and Enjoy
- Drizzle with honey or condensed milk if desired.
- Serve your Hong Kong-style Mango Pancakes warm and watch as the mango goodness oozes out with every delightful bite.
Tips for Extra Delight:
- You can use any variety of ripe and sweet mangoes available to you.
- Feel free to get creative with your pancake sizes; you can make mini pancakes or one large pancake cake.
