Posted on December 25, 2008 by healthy-chef

Give pancakes a new, exotic lease of life.

Ingredients (Serves 4)

• 125 g plain flour
• pinch of salt
• 1 egg
• 300 ml unsweetened soy milk
• 6 passion fruit
• 2 tsp arrowroot
• 150 ml pineapple juice
• juice of ½ lime
• caster sugar
• vegetable oil, for frying
• icing sugar, for dusting
• 1 mango, peeled and sliced

1. To make the pancakes in advance, interleave them with greaseproof paper, cover and store in a cool place, or freeze. To re-heat, put the stack of pancakes, defrosted if frozen, on an ovenproof plate, cover with an inverted ovenproof plate and warm in the oven at 180°C/350°F for 5 to 10 minutes.
2. To make the batter, sift the flour and salt into a large bowl and make a well in the center. Add the egg and half of the soy milk, and beat well to make a thick batter. Gradually add the remaining soy milk. Cover and set aside for 30 minutes.
3. To make the filling, remove the pulp from the passion fruit. Mix the arrowroot with enough cold water to make a thick paste. Gently warm the pineapple juice in a small saucepan. Stir in the arrowroot and bring to the boil. Take off the heat, and stir in the passion fruit and lime juice. Sweeten to taste.
4. Lightly brush an 18 cm, non-stick frying pan with vegetable oil and gently heat. Add enough batter to thinly coat the base. Cook for about 3 minutes and then turn the pancake and cook the other side until golden brown. Transfer the pancake to a plate and keep warm. Cook the remaining pancakes in the same way.
5. Fold the pancakes in half, fill with the slices of mango and then fold over again. Dust with icing sugar and serve with warm passion fruit sauce.
