Matcha Green Tea Pancake
A delicious pancake infused with matcha green tea flavor to give your breakfast a colorful Japanese flair! These pancakes are a vibrant color, so flipping them earlier will prevent them from browning as much and will maintain the bright green exterior. Serve with powdered sugar or whipped cream.
Ingredient
- 1 teaspoon green tea powder (matcha)
- 1 cup boiling water
- ½ cup milk
- 2 tablespoons melted butter
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 egg
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons white sugar
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon butter, or as needed
Direction
- Place matcha powder in a bowl and slowly add boiling water while whisking continuously until tea is frothy and matcha is fully incorporated. Refrigerate or set aside to cool.
- Mix milk, melted butter, and vanilla extract together in a large mixing bowl. Beat egg into the wet ingredients.
- Mix flour, sugar, salt, and baking soda together in a bowl. Sift into another bowl.
- Whisk cooled tea mixture into the milk mixture. Add sifted flour mixture to the milk mixture and mix batter thoroughly.
- Heat a lightly buttered frying pan or griddle over medium heat, but do not let it smoke. Pour 1/4 cup batter into the pan and cook until small bubbles are visible near the center of the pancake, 1 to 3 minutes. Flip and cook on the second side 1 to 3 minutes more.
