- Break eggs into a bowl and whisk well.
- Mix 1 cup of water with the powdered milk and add to the bowl, together with the vanilla flavour, butter or oil and the mango puree. Mix well to combine.
- Stir in the flour and the spice, then mix to combine. Add more water if too thick for your liking or more flour if too runny. It depends on how you like your pancake.
