Ingredients
Dry Ingredients
- 1½ cup sifted white all-purpose flour (Sift the flour before measuring it.)
- 2 teaspoons double-acting baking powder
- ¼ teaspoon salt
Wet Ingredients
- 1 large egg (At room temperature.)
- 1¼ cup milk (At room temperature.)
- 1 teaspoon almond extract (You can substitute vanilla extract.)
- 3 tablespoons unsalted butter (Melted and cooled.)
Other Ingredients
- 2 medium mangoes (Chopped into ½ inch cubes, about 1 cup chopped mango.)
- Cooking spray (for griddle or skillet)
Instructions
- Combine dry ingredients: Add flour, baking powder, and salt to a large bowl. Mix thoroughly with a wire whisk. Set aside.
- Combine wet ingredients: In a blender, add milk, egg, almond extract, and melted butter. Blend for about a minute. Alternatively, combine wet ingredients in a medium bowl and beat vigorously with an electric mixer or wire whisk for about a minute.
- Combine dry and wet ingredients: Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Do not overmix; some lumps are okay. Let the batter rest for 5 minutes.
- Heat griddle: Lightly spray a griddle or non-stick skillet with cooking spray. Heat over medium heat. Adjust temperature based on desired pancake browning if using a griddle.
- Add batter to griddle: Pour about ¼ cup of batter per pancake onto the hot griddle or skillet without overcrowding.
- Add mango: Scatter a few chopped mango cubes on top of the uncooked pancakes.
- Cook pancakes: Cook until bubbles form and pop on the surface, approximately 3-4 minutes.
- Flip pancakes: Lightly spray a wide spatula with cooking spray and carefully flip each pancake with a swift motion. Cook for about 5 minutes on the other side until golden and cooked through. Remove cooked pancakes to a plate and tent with aluminum foil to keep warm.
- Repeat: Repeat the process with remaining batter, adjusting heat as needed.
Notes
- Be careful not to overmix the batter to keep pancakes fluffy.
- Use ripe, sweet mangoes for the best flavor.
- Resting the batter helps to improve texture.
- Adjust the cooking heat to prevent burning or undercooking.
- You can substitute almond extract with vanilla extract as desired.
- For dairy-free version, substitute milk and butter with plant-based alternatives.
