# Instructions:
01 -
Put the flour, cornflour, powdered sugar, superfine sugar, and a pinch of salt into a large bowl. Stir everything together after sifting the powders to break up lumps.
02 -
In a new bowl, mix your milk, eggs, melted butter, vanilla extract, and optional food coloring until you’ve got a smooth mix.
03 -
Make a hole in the middle of your dry mix, then pour in the wet ingredients. Stir or whisk until there’s no clumps left. If you want it extra silky, run the batter through a fine sieve.
04 -
Warm up a dab of butter in a hot, non-stick frying pan. Pour about 50ml of batter in and quickly tilt the pan to spread it out thinly. Cook for a minute until it’s set and a little golden on the bottom, then flip it onto a plate. Repeat for the other pancakes.
05 -
Use a mixer or whisk to whip cream with powdered sugar and vanilla until it forms fluffy peaks. Slice your mango into big clean chunks.
06 -
Lay a pancake flat, put mango slices in the center, and add whipped cream. Fold the sides over the mango and cream like you’re wrapping a present. Be gentle so the pancake doesn’t tear!
07 -
Sprinkle powdered sugar over the folded pancakes and add mint on top if you like. Eat them right away, or pop them in the fridge for half an hour so they’re firmer and easier to slice.
