Prep Time: 15 minutes
Cook Time: 20 minutes
Total Time: 35 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
• 1 cup buttermilk
• 1 large egg
• 2 tablespoons melted butter
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• Butter or oil for cooking
• Powdered sugar, for dusting
• Fresh berries, for topping

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 buttermilk, egg, melted butter, and vanilla extract.
3. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently stir until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; some lumps are okay.
4. Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat and lightly grease with butter or oil.
5. Pour 1/4 cup of the batter onto the skillet for each pancake. Cook until bubbles form on the surface, then flip and cook until golden brown on the other side, about 2-3 minutes per side.
6. Remove the pancakes from the skillet and keep warm. Repeat with the remaining batter.
7. Stack the pancakes on a serving plate, dust with powdered sugar, and top with fresh berries.

Helpful Tips

Variations: Add white chocolate chips or coconut flakes to the batter for extra flavor. Substitute oat or almond flour for a gluten-free option.

Storage Instructions: Store leftover pancakes in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in a toaster or microwave before serving.

Ingredient Substitutions: If you don’t have buttermilk, mix 1 cup of milk with 1 tablespoon of lemon juice or vinegar. Let it sit for 5 minutes before using.

Pairings
