Should be enough to share not sure I can eat 8 pancakes!

Serves: 4
Ingredients

2 Waitrose 1 Perfectly Ripe Mangoes, peeled, stoned and sliced
3 tbsp golden rum or apple juice
2 tbsp light brown muscovado sugar
Finely grated zest and juice of 1 lime
2 tbsp shredded fresh mint
120g natural coconut yogurt, to serve

For the pancakes
100g plain flour
1 medium British Blacktail Free Range Egg
300ml milk
A little sunflower oil, for greasing
Method

1. Place the mango in a heatproof bowl. Gently heat the rum (or apple juice) and sugar in a pan, stirring until the sugar dissolves. Pour over the mango and set aside to cool. Add most of the lime zest, juice and mint to the cooled mango, then chill until ready to serve.
2. Place the flour and a pinch of salt in a bowl. Make a well in the centre and crack in the egg and a little of the milk. Whisk together, gradually incorporating the remaining milk to make a smooth batter.
3. Lightly grease a 20cm heavy-based non-stick frying pan. Add enough batter to thinly coat the pan’s base and cook over a medium heat for about 1 minute, or until golden brown. Flip over and cook the other side until golden brown.
4. Place on a warm plate and cover with greaseproof paper. Repeat to make 8 pancakes. Keep them warm by placing in the oven at 120°C, gas mark ½. Place 2 pancakes on each plate and top with the mango and the yogurt sprinkled with the remaining lime zest.

Mike that sounds delicious! Are you opting for the rum version!?

I have three lemons I will bring that might be enough for everyone? I'll bring syrup too, and something else yet tbd! Nom.

Please sign up Lynn.

Sorry Beth it's apple juice version. I couldn't find the rum syrup!

What's the house number please PM me.
Thanks
Mike

I'll bring a savoury filling. Probably involving some cheese and ham. Maybe even some green stuff if I'm feeling particularly health conscious tomorrow.

See you all then!

Hi Mike!

Pop me a message on 07963938957 and I'll send you the address. For some reason I cant seem to send you a PM on the forum when on my phone, and I don't have access to it on a computer today.

Would someone be able to bring a few spare plates? We have a few small plates but only about 3 or 4 larger plates - so any large plates would be useful

Also: PANCAKES!!! (Don't know about you guys but I've already had my breakfast pancakes)

For some reason I cannot see PMs on the forum either. I should have checked before I asked for a PM.
It seems to be an Administrator setting or something to do with leaving the EU

I shall bring nutella and bananas..!

Due to weather event has been cancelled
