Add a little more milk if it is too thick. Leave to rest while you make the filling.
Step 2: Put 1 ripe mango, 3 ½ oz white or brown sugar and 3 ½ oz grated coconut in a pan and simmer on a low heat for 10 minutes, stirring all the time, until the mango is soft and the mixture is thick and sticky. Take off the heat.

Step 4: Drizzle a little 2 tbsp butter around the edge and cook for 1–2 minutes on each side until set and lightly golden.
