Pancake Toppings

In this pancake recipe, I ave used mangoes because the season is almost over and I just wanted to savor them a bit more. You can go ahead and add strawberries (if available), any berries that you can get. Banana and chocolate topped pancakes taste almost like heaven and sometimes I use frozen strawberries thawed and sprinkled with some powdered sugar.

How to Make Fluffy Pancakes

• You can use whole wheat atta too in place of all purpose flour.
• you can make fluffy pancakes without eggs using chia seeds, mashed banana, cornstarch or applesauce in place of eggs.
• The secret is to get the stove temperature perfect. It will take 45 seconds for the holes to appear so cook each side for about 30 seconds most or 1 minute for an entire pancake.
• You can mix the dry ingredients together and keep a batch saved for when you want pancakes for next time. Just add eggs and milk at the time and you are ready to go.
