Ingredients
Scale
Dry Ingredients
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons sugar
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
Wet Ingredients
- 3/4 cup buttermilk
- 1/4 cup milk
- 1 large egg
- 2 tablespoons melted butter (plus more for cooking)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Fruit
- 1 cup fresh mango, peeled and finely diced
To Serve (Optional)
- Maple syrup
- Extra diced mango
Instructions
- Combine Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt until well mixed to ensure even leavening and flavor distribution.
- Mix Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the buttermilk, milk, egg, melted butter, and vanilla extract until the mixture is smooth and homogenous.
- Combine Wet and Dry: Pour the wet ingredients into the bowl with the dry ingredients and stir gently until just combined to maintain pancake fluffiness; do not overmix to avoid tough pancakes.
- Fold in Mango: Gently fold in the finely diced mango, evenly distributing it throughout the batter for bursts of fresh tropical flavor in every bite.
- Preheat Skillet: Heat a nonstick skillet or griddle over medium heat and brush lightly with butter to prevent sticking and add richness.
- Cook Pancakes: Pour approximately 1/4 cup of batter per pancake onto the hot skillet. Cook until bubbles form on the surface and edges look set, about 2 to 3 minutes. Flip carefully and cook the other side for 1 to 2 minutes until golden brown and cooked through.
- Repeat and Serve: Continue cooking the remaining batter, adding more butter as needed. Serve the pancakes warm topped with maple syrup and additional diced mango if desired.
Notes
- For extra mango flavor, blend half of the mango into the wet ingredients before folding in the remaining diced pieces.
- These pancakes pair wonderfully with coconut whipped cream or a sprinkle of toasted coconut for added texture and flavor.
