Ingredients

Scale

For the Pancake Batter

  • 2 eggs
  • 2 tbsp all purpose flour (levelled off)
  • 2 tbsp cornstarch (levelled off)
  • 3 tbsp icing sugar (levelled off)
  • Pinch salt
  • 1 tbsp butter (melted)

For the Filling

  • 1 cup whipping cream (35% M.F)
  • 1 mango (ripened, peeled and sliced into 2 x 1-inch-long pieces to have 5 pieces)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Batter: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, all purpose flour, cornstarch, icing sugar, melted butter, and a pinch of salt until the mixture is well combined and smooth.
  2. Cook the Pancakes: Heat a non-stick pan over low heat. Pour 1/3 cup of pancake batter into the center of the pan without swirling it out thin. Allow the pancake to form naturally and fry on only one side for 4 minutes or until bubbles appear on the surface. Do not flip. Remove and transfer the pancake to a cooling rack.
  3. Whip the Cream: In a large mixing bowl, pour the whipping cream and use a hand mixer to beat on low speed gradually increasing to medium-high until stiff peaks form.
  4. Assemble the Pancakes: Lay each crepe yellow side down with the pan-fried side facing up. Place one piece of mango in the center of the pancake. Spread approximately 1/4 cup of whipped cream over the mango in a rectangular shape.
  5. Roll and Shape: Carefully roll the crepe into a roll, folding in the edges as you go. The crepe edges may not stick completely, which is normal.
  6. Finish: Turn the pancake so the seamless side is facing up. Using a sharp paring knife, cut the pancake down the middle if desired. Repeat the process with remaining batter and fillings.

Notes

  • Use low heat to avoid burning the pancakes since they cook on one side only.
  • Do not attempt to flip the pancake to keep the soft, delicate texture typical of Hong Kong style mango pancakes.
  • For best results, chill the whipped cream before whipping.
  • The edges of the rolled pancakes may not stick together tightly; this is normal and does not affect taste.
  • Use ripe mangoes for optimal sweetness and texture.
