3tablespoonssugar
1tablespoonsmatcha powder
2teaspoonsbaking powder
¼teaspoonsalt
1cupmilk
1egg
½teaspoonvanilla
2tablespoonsbutter
Instructions
In a large bowl, combine flour, sugar, matcha powder, baking powder, and salt. Whisk until everything is evenly distributed.
Make a well in the center and add milk, egg, and vanilla extract. Whisk just until combined. A few small lumps are fine. Do not overmix. Let the batter rest for 15 minutes.
Meanwhile, melt butter in a nonstick skillet over low to medium heat. Scoop about 1/4 cup of batter per pancake into the skillet.
Cook until bubbles form on the surface and the edges start to look set, about 2 to 3 minutes. Flip and cook the other side until golden and cooked through, another 1 to 2 minutes. Adjust the heat as needed so they don’t brown too quickly.
Serve warm with fruit, syrup, butter, or your choice of toppings. Enjoy!
