Christine Ferber, renowned French pastry chef, chocolatier, and confectioner, shares this elegant recipe from Régal magazine.

  1. Pancake batter: Break the eggs into a large bowl and beat with a fork. Add the flour and whisk to combine. Pour in the milk, salt, and honey, then whisk until smooth. Let stand for 1 hour.
  2. Peel and cut the mango into small cubes.
  3. Whip the cream with icing sugar, lime zest, and vanilla seeds until soft peaks form. Refrigerate until ready to serve.
  4. Cook the crepes: Heat a little butter and oil in a crepe pan or nonstick skillet. Pour in a small ladle of batter and cook over low heat until golden. Flip and brown the other side.
  5. Place warm crepes on plates. Spoon mango cubes in the center, fold like a cushion, and top with a quenelle of lime-vanilla cream.
