Notes

Mango Pancakes - Recipe Hints and Tips

Because of the mango compote these are never going to be super light and fluffy, there are a few things to do to help you make the best pancakes.

How to make fluffy pancakes

Use soft flour - so cake flour - NEVER strong bread flour.
Mix the batter just enough so it is smooth, if you over mix you will overdevelop the gluten and this can make the pancakes tough.
Use fresh baking powder. Baking powder has a shelf life of 9-12 months before it loses its oomph. When fresh, baking powder will fizz when you add a teaspoon a a glass of hot water - if it doesn't then throw it and buy a new tub.

Mango Pancakes - adaptions & substitutions

Dairy Free Mango Pancakes

Simply swap out the milk for coconut milk or any other non-dairy milk, and swap the butter for dairy free spread.

Apricot Pancakes

Use apricot rather than mango compote.
