Ingredients
Scale
Fruit:
- 1 ripe mango, diced
Dry Ingredients:
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons sugar
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
Wet Ingredients and Dairy:
- 1 cup milk
- 1 egg
- 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
- 8 ounces (226 grams) mascarpone cheese
- 2 tablespoons honey
Instructions
- Combine flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt in a mixing bowl, whisking thoroughly to ensure even distribution of dry ingredients.
- In a separate bowl, vigorously whisk milk, egg, and vegetable oil until well blended and slightly frothy.
- Slowly incorporate wet ingredients into dry mixture, stirring gently until just combined. Avoid overmixing to maintain a light, fluffy texture.
- Delicately fold fresh diced mango into the batter, distributing fruit evenly throughout the pancake mixture.
- Preheat a non-stick pan or griddle to medium heat (around 350°F), allowing surface to warm evenly.
- Ladle approximately 1/4 cup of batter onto the heated surface for each pancake, creating uniform circular shapes.
- Cook pancakes for 2-3 minutes until small bubbles emerge across the surface and edges appear slightly dry.
- Carefully flip pancakes using a spatula and cook opposite side for an additional 1-2 minutes until golden brown.
- While pancakes cook, whip mascarpone cheese with honey in a small bowl, blending until smooth and creamy.
- Transfer warm pancakes to serving plates, generously topped with the silky mascarpone cream.
- Garnish with additional fresh mango pieces for extra visual appeal and burst of fruity flavor.
Notes
- Prevent overmixing by stirring the batter until ingredients are just combined, which keeps pancakes light and fluffy.
- Replace dairy milk with almond or oat milk for a lactose-free version that maintains the same creamy texture.
- Enhance mango flavor by using ripe, sweet mangoes and gently folding them into the batter to distribute evenly without breaking fruit pieces.
- Swap mascarpone cream with Greek yogurt or coconut cream for alternative dietary preferences while keeping a rich, creamy topping.
