One-cup Pancakes, Tropical Yoghurt & Mango

These are the easiest pancakes to make – you don't even need scales to weigh your ingredients. All you need is a cup or a mug. As long as you use the same cup for measuring both the flour and the milk, you'll be laughing! If you use self-raising flour the pancakes will be more American in style, lovely and fluffy and thick. Plain flour will give you thinner ones, more like European crêpes. Great with a sprinkling of sugar and a squeeze of lemon juice (very old school!), or drizzled with maple syrup and served with crispy bacon. Try throwing a handful of blueberries into the batter mix if making American-style pancakes. I also love eating them with Rachel's coconut yoghurt, which is delicious. I've given you a recipe here for making your own similar tropical-flavoured yoghurt. It actually gets better if you let it stand in the fridge for a few hours, as the coconut will soften.
