Equipment

Ingredients

  • 1 cup milk cows or unsweetened nondairy
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice or white vinegar
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 2 tablespoons brown sugar
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup diced mango 1 large mango = approx. 3 cups diced
  • 3 tablespoons unsalted butter for frying

Instructions

  • In a measuring cup or small bowl, add the lemon juice to the milk and set aside to slightly curdle to make buttermilk.
    1 cup milk, 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, brown sugar, baking powder, and salt.
    1 cup all-purpose flour, 2 tablespoons brown sugar, 2 teaspoons baking powder, 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • Add the egg, vanilla extract, and buttermilk mixture. Whisk until smooth, careful not to overbeat.
    1 large egg, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Fold in diced mango and transfer batter to a measuring cup or other container with spout for easy pouring.
    1 cup diced mango
  • Add butter to your griddle or pan and allow it to heat up on medium-high until the butter is melted. For the thickest, most perfectly round pancakes, use pancake molds. Pour batter into your molds or freeform circles onto the pan and cook over medium heat.
    3 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • When it's ready to flip, the batter on the uncooked side will start to form little air bubbles. Use a spatula to flip the pancakes, and allow them to cook on the other side for 2-3 minutes.
  • Repeat steps 5 and 6 until the pancake batter is used up, adding butter before each batch to keep your griddle greased. Option to top with extra diced mango. Serve warm with maple syrup. Try them with these Vegan Breakfast Sausage Patties!

Notes

  • You can easily make this recipe vegan by using any unsweetened non-dairy milk, vegan butter, and a flax egg. Just make sure if you are using sweetened or flavored milk, you adjust the other ingredients accordingly.
  • You can use cooking spray instead of butter for a lighter version, but these pancakes taste really good with a little crisp on the outside. Please note, you may have to leave them on your pan or griddle a bit longer to get them golden-brown if you’re using spray.
