Equipment

  • Non-stick frying pan

Ingredients
  

The pancake (crepe!)

  • 1 cup milk full fat
  • cup plain flour all-purpose flour
  • ¼ cup cornflour cornstarch
  • ¼ cup icing sugar powdered sugar
  • 3 large eggs (55-60g/2oz each)
  • ¼ teaspoon yellow food colouring
  • Canola oil spray

Mango

  • 2 large ripe mangoes skin peeled with a knife, cut into 10 to 12 pieces (7 x 2.5 x 1 cm, 3 x 1 x ½")

Cream filling

  • ¾ cup thickened/heavy cream fridge cold
  • 3 tablespoon icing sugar sifted
  • ½ teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions
 

Pancake

  • Place the milk in a bowl. Sift the flour, cornflour and icing sugar in then whisk until lump free. Add eggs and food colouring, whisk until combined. It will be a very thin, watery batter.
  • Refrigerate for 1 hour.
  • Give the batter a mix (to stir in flour settled at bottom) then measure out 45 ml (3 tbsp) of crepe batter.
  • Use a 18cm/7" non-stick pan. Spray lightly with oil then heat over a medium low stove.
  • Pour the batter into the middle; it should sizzle very lightly. Swirl to cover the base in a thin layer. Cook for 45 seconds to 1 minute or until the middle is set to touch.
  • Flip the crepe out upside down onto a large cutting board. Goal: Surface is set, underside has no golden patches.
  • Spray pan with oil then continue cooking the pancakes. You can flip them out on top of each other.
  • Full cool the crepes for 1 hour before using.

Assembling

  • Just before assembling, place the cream, icing sugar and vanilla in a cold bowl and beat until stiff (about 2 minutes on speed 8 of a 10 speed hand mixer).
  • Place a crepe on a work surface so the side that was in contact with the pan is facing up. Spread a 1cm/1/3" thick layer of cream one-third of the way up the pancake, in the shape of a piece of mango. Top with mango.
  • Roll, burrito style, ending with the seam-side down. Repeat with remaining pancakes.
  • Serve immediately!

Notes

Resting the crepe batter for an hour allows the flour to absorb the liquid, making the crepe soft. Use natural food coloring for signature yellow color.
