Icing sugar known as powdered sugar in the US.
Eggs Fridge cold is fine here.
Big, juicy chunks of mango are stuffed inside mango pancakes.
But verify they are large eggs which are 55 60g/2oz each, labelled as such on the carton.
Milk Full fat kindly.
Low fat will compromise the softness of the crepes and may make them crack.
Paper thing, rubbery crepes are the pancake part of Mango Pancakes
Yellow food colouring to give the pancakes the signature pale yellow colour!
Food colouring is safer and easier!
Also, it didnt add mango flavour into the crepes.
Lightly sweetened vanilla whipped cream for filling the mango pancakes
Whipped cream
I fill my pancakes with lightly sweetened vanilla whipped cream.
Technically, its calledChantilly Cream.
So much nicer than just plain whipped cream!
Cream Use thickened / heavy cream or other whipping cream.
see to it it is fridge cold so it easily beats into a stiff cream.
We dont want to go for soft peaks here.
Use your favourite key in of mango, as long as theyre ripe and juicy!
The only Australian variety I avoid is Calypso cheap, look pretty but least flavour.
How to make mango pancakes
The pancakes for mango pancakes are actually paper thin rubbery crepes.
But dont let that dishearten you!
It doesnt matter if theyre wonky.
Once rolled, you cant tell what shape the crepe was!
If you tear them, so what?
Roll around the tears.
A little too thick?
It really doesnt detract from the enjoyment of the pancakes!
Whisk until lump free, then whisk in the eggs and food colouring.
The batter will be very, very thin.
Also, the batter thickens slightly to the right consistency for cooking.
The one thing thats a must is to use a very non-stick pan.
If you dont, youll be cursing /crying.
Been there, done that!
Measure out45 ml / 3 tablespoons of batter.
I use beakers super handy!
Prevent screen from sleeping
(I have stacks of them for recipe testing and filming purposes).
Spraya non stick pan lightly with oil then heat over a medium low stove.
Size matters!I use a pan that has a 18cm/7 flat base and rim-to-rim of 24cm/10.
Makes the perfect size mango pancakes!
The brand I use is Tefal 24cm fry pan, sold at Coles/Woolworths in Australia.
If your pan is bigger or smaller, just adjust the crepe batter quantity as necessary.
If using a standard crepe pan, you will need 60ml / 1/4 cup of batter.
Youll also need to adjust the size of your mango pieces.
Set to touch Cook for 45 seconds to 1 minute or until the middle is set to touch.
Do not flip in the pan.
We only cook one side of the crepes.
Dont be shy about getting under those edges!
Flipthe crepe out onto a work surface.
Flip quickly, and with confidence!
Dont worry if your crepes fold or wrinkle when they land.
Just leave them while hot as they are quite delicate.
They become less fragile as they cool, then you’ve got the option to straighten them out.
Repeatto cook remaining crepes.
You should get 10 to 12 in total.
you could flip them out on top of each other, they will not stick because of the oil.
Fully coolbefore filling (about 30 minutes) else the cream will melt.
Its actually easier because theyre smaller.
Filling Place crepe on a work surface.
Place a dollop of cream just below halfway.
Spread the cream so its about 1cm/1/3 thick, a smidge larger than the shape of the mango piece.
Fold the bottom up to cover the mango.
Fold the sides in.
Continue rolling, firmly but gently.
Finish with the seam side down.
And thats it, youre done.
YOU JUST MADE MANGO PANCAKES, you cooking goddess!
Eat with your hands, biting into them like a spring roll!
Go forth and enjoy!
No more do you have to queue up at your favourite yum cha to get your mango pancake fix.
Also youll save a bomb.
The mango pancakes at my favourite yum cha restaurant are $13.80 for 2.
