Embark on a culinary adventure with our Matcha Pancakes, where fluffy green stacks are infused with the vibrant essence of matcha, offering a delightful twist on the classic breakfast favorite.
Ingredients:
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon matcha powder
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 egg
- 3/4 cup milk
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions:
- Mix Dry Ingredients: In a mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, matcha powder, sugar, baking powder, and salt until well combined.
- Prepare Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the egg, milk, melted butter, and vanilla extract until smooth.
- Combine: Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; a few lumps are okay.
- Heat the Pan: Place a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat and lightly grease with butter or cooking spray.
- Cook the Pancakes: Pour about 1/4 cup of batter onto the skillet for each pancake. Cook until bubbles form on the surface and the edges look set, about 2-3 minutes. Flip the pancakes and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes, or until golden brown and cooked through.
- Serve: Transfer the pancakes to a plate and serve warm with your favorite toppings, such as maple syrup, fresh berries, whipped cream, or a dusting of powdered sugar.
- Enjoy: Dive into these fluffy, green-hued pancakes and savor the unique flavor and energizing benefits of matcha!
Tips:
- For extra fluffiness, you can separate the egg and beat the egg white until stiff peaks form before folding it into the batter.
- Adjust the sweetness level by adding more or less sugar according to your preference.
- Feel free to customize the toppings to your liking, such as adding sliced bananas, chopped nuts, or a drizzle of honey.
