Step-by-Step Instructions for Pillowy Mango Pancakes
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together 2 large eggs, 1 cup of reduced fat milk, and 1/2 cup of water until fully combined. Gradually add 1 tablespoon of sugar and a pinch of salt, mixing until dissolved. Slowly incorporate 2 tablespoons of melted unsalted butter, followed by 1 cup of all-purpose flour sifted in to avoid lumps. Strain the batter through a fine mesh to ensure a smooth texture, then refrigerate for at least 1 hour.
- While the batter chills, prepare the whipped cream. In a chilled mixing bowl, pour in 1 cup of heavy cream. Whisk the cream with an electric mixer on medium speed until medium peaks form, about 2-3 minutes. Next, add 2 tablespoons of powdered sugar and a splash of vanilla extract, then continue whisking until stiff peaks form, taking care not to overbeat. Cover and refrigerate until ready to use.
- Place a non-stick crêpe pan over low to medium heat, allowing it to warm for a couple of minutes. Once heated, lightly grease with butter or cooking spray. Pour in a small ladleful of batter, swirling swiftly to create a thin layer filling the pan. Cook for about 1-2 minutes until the edges begin to lift, then gently flip. Cook the other side for just 1 minute until barely set; avoid browning for the perfect Pillowy Mango Pancakes.
- Once cooked, remove the crêpe from the pan and place it smooth side down on a clean surface. Spread a generous dollop of the whipped cream across the center, then lay half of a ripe yellow mango on top. Carefully fold the crêpe over the filling to form a roll, ensuring the whipped cream and mango are enclosed completely. Repeat with remaining crêpes and filling until all are assembled.
- Arrange the finished Pillowy Mango Pancakes on a large platter, and if desired, slice them into bite-sized pieces for serving. They can be served chilled or at room temperature, perfect for brunch gatherings. Garnish with a light dusting of powdered sugar or fresh mint to elevate the presentation.

Notes
For optimal texture, serve the assembled pancakes right away, although they can be stored in the fridge for a couple of days.
