Instructions

Prepare the Pancake Batter

In a mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. In another bowl, combine the milk, egg, and vegetable oil. Gradually mix the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients until just combined.

Cook the Pancakes

Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Pour 1/4 cup of the batter onto the skillet for each pancake. Cook until bubbles form on the surface, then flip and cook until golden brown.

Repeat with remaining batter.

Serving Suggestions

For an extra touch of indulgence, consider drizzling some extra honey or a dollop of whipped cream on top of the assembled mango pancakes. You can also sprinkle some toasted coconut or chopped nuts for added texture and flavor. A dusting of powdered sugar can also enhance the visual appeal, making these pancakes look as good as they taste.

Pair these pancakes with a refreshing beverage like iced tea or a fruity smoothie to create a complete meal experience. The combination of flavors will complement each other beautifully, making your brunch or breakfast even more enjoyable.

Storing Leftovers

If you happen to have any leftover pancakes, storing them is easy! Allow the pancakes to cool completely before placing them in an airtight container. They can be refrigerated for up to three days. When you're ready to enjoy them again, simply reheat in a skillet over low heat or in the microwave for a quick breakfast treat.

For longer storage, consider freezing the pancakes. Layer them between pieces of parchment paper in a freezer-safe bag, which prevents them from sticking together. Frozen pancakes can last for up to two months and can be reheated directly from the freezer, making them a convenient option for busy mornings.
