Recipe Summary:

Prep Time: 15 minutes

Cook Time: 15 minutes

Total Time: 30 minutes

Servings: 4

Skill Level: Easy

Ingredients:

• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 1 tablespoon matcha powder
• 1 tablespoon sugar
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 3/4 cup milk
• 1 egg
• 2 tablespoons melted butter
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• Fresh berries, for topping
• Whipped cream, for topping
• Maple syrup, for drizzling

Instructions:

1. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, matcha powder, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
2. In another bowl, combine the milk, egg, melted butter, and vanilla extract. Mix well.
3. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and whisk until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; the batter should be slightly lumpy.
4. Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Lightly grease with a bit of butter or oil.
5. Pour 1/4 cup of batter onto the skillet for each pancake. Cook until bubbles form on the surface and edges begin to set, about 2-3 minutes. Flip and cook until the other side is golden brown, another 1-2 minutes.
6. Repeat with the remaining batter, keeping the cooked pancakes warm.
7. Serve the pancakes stacked high, topped with fresh berries, a dollop of whipped cream, and a drizzle of maple syrup.

Helpful Tips:

• For an extra fluffy texture, let the batter rest for 5-10 minutes before cooking.
• Adjust the amount of matcha powder according to your taste preference.
• If you don’t have fresh berries, frozen ones work just as well. Simply thaw and drain before using.

Storage Instructions and Ingredient Substitutions:

Leftover pancakes can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Reheat in the microwave or on a skillet over low heat.

If you’re out of milk, try using almond or oat milk as a substitute. For a dairy-free version, use plant-based butter.

Pairings:

These matcha pancakes pair beautifully with a cup of hot matcha tea or a refreshing glass of orange juice. For a savory contrast, serve with a side of scrambled eggs or a fresh fruit salad.
