Equipment
- Griddle or Large Non-Stick Skillet For cooking pancakes.
- Blender or Mixing Bowl For mixing wet ingredients.
- Wide Non-Stick Spatula For flipping pancakes.
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups sifted all-purpose flour (sift before measuring)
- 2 tsp baking powder
- 0.25 tsp salt
- 1 large egg, room temperature
- 1.25 cups milk, room temperature
- 1 tsp almond extract (or vanilla extract)
- 3 tbsp unsalted butter, melted and cooled
- 2 medium mangoes, chopped into ½-inch cubes (about 1 cup)
Instructions
- In a large bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
- In a blender, combine milk, egg, almond extract, and melted butter. Blend for about a minute until smooth.
- Pour wet ingredients into dry and stir gently just until combined. A few lumps are okay. Do not overmix. Let batter rest for 5 minutes.
- Lightly spray a griddle or non-stick skillet with cooking spray and heat over medium heat.
- Pour about ¼ cup batter onto the hot surface for each pancake. Immediately scatter chopped mango over the uncooked batter.
- Cook until bubbles form and pop on the surface, about 3-4 minutes. Flip and cook for another 5 minutes until golden and cooked through. Keep warm while cooking remaining batter.
- Serve warm with maple syrup, mango compote, or additional fresh mango.
Notes
Pro Tips: Do not overmix the batter – a few lumps are perfect for tender pancakes. Use room temperature egg and milk for the fluffiest results. The magic happens when you scatter mango directly onto the cooking batter – it caramelizes beautifully! Spray your spatula with cooking spray to prevent sticking. For the best flavor, use ripe, sweet mangoes. Let the batter rest for 5 minutes before cooking.
