Ingredients
Scale
Dry Ingredients
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 2 tablespoons sugar
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
Wet Ingredients
- 1 cup milk
- 1 large egg
- 2 tablespoons butter, melted
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)
Fruit
- 1 cup fresh ripe mango, diced
Instructions
- Prepare the Batter: In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt. In a separate bowl, beat the egg with milk, melted butter, and vanilla extract if using. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry and stir gently until combined without overmixing—some lumps are fine for fluffy pancakes.
- Add the Mango: Fold in the diced fresh mango carefully to distribute the fruit evenly throughout the batter without breaking up the pieces too much.
- Heat the Pan: Preheat a nonstick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Lightly grease with butter or oil to prevent sticking and enhance flavor.
- Cook the Pancakes: Spoon the batter onto the hot pan, about 1/4 cup per pancake. Cook until bubbles form on the surface and edges start to set, about 2–3 minutes. Flip carefully and cook another 1–2 minutes until golden brown and cooked through.
- Serve Warm: Stack the pancakes and serve immediately with your favorite toppings or syrup for maximum enjoyment.
Notes
- Use fully ripe, sweet mangoes for the best flavor and natural sweetness.
- Don’t overmix the batter to keep pancakes light and fluffy.
- Cook on medium heat to prevent burning and ensure even cooking.
- Let the batter rest for 5–10 minutes to help the baking powder activate and produce fluffier pancakes.
- Fresh mango chunks provide better texture and taste compared to canned or frozen mango.
