  • Pancake batter:

    • Break the eggs into a large bowl and beat them with a fork.
    • Add the flour and mix with the whisk.
    • Pour in the milk with the salt and honey.
    • Stir again with the whisk.
    • Let stand for 1 hour.

  • Cut the mango flesh into small cubes.
  • Whip the cream with the icing sugar, lime zest and vanilla seeds.
  • Refrigerate until last.
  • Cooking pancakes:

    • Heat a little butter and a little oil in a griddle or non-stick pan.
    • Pour a small ladle of batter and brown over low heat.
    • When the crepe comes off, turn it over and let it brown on the other side over low heat.

  • Place the warm pancakes on each plate, garnish the center with a tablespoon of mango.
  • Fold the crepe like a cushion and garnish with a quenelle of lime and vanilla cream.
