Method

  1. To make the pancakes, combine the dry ingredients (flour and sugar) in a large bowl.​
  2. In a separate bowl, lightly mix the milk, eggs and melted butter together using a balloon whisk. Gradually add this liquid into the dry ingredients, mixing as you go, making sure there are no lumps. Cover the bowl and rest the batter for 30 minutes.​
  3. On low to medium heat, heat the frying pan with a drop of oil. Only a very small amount of oil is needed for crepes so leave the rest of the oil for re-coating the pan now and again. 
  4. When the pan is moderately hot, use a ladle to pour in some of the batter. Spread it evenly over the bottom of the pan. Turn down the heat to low/medium and cook for a couple of minutes, until the edges of the pancake have turned slightly brown.
  5. Using a skewer, peel the pancake from the edge and turn it over. Cook for a further minute and then transfer it onto a large plate. To keep your pancakes separate as they cool, place a sheet of baking parchment between each one.
  6. To make the key lime filling - whisk the condensed milk and cream until combined. Then add the lime juice and the majority of the zest to thicken (keeping some lime zest for decoration).
  7. To assemble, place one pancake on a plate and add 3 tbsp of key lime filling on top. Use a small spatula to spread the cream evenly. Carefully place another pancake on top and repeat until all the filling and pancakes are used. Leave in the fridge for 1-2 hours to set. ​
  8. Slice and chop the mangoes. ​
  9. To serve, cut the chilled mille crepe into 12 and decorate with the chopped mangoes, lime zest and mint.​
