📌How to make Matcha Pancakes

🍃1. Mix the Dry Ingredients

In a bowl, add flour, matcha powder, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Whisk until everything is evenly combined.

🍃2. Prepare the Wet Ingredients

In another bowl, combine milk, melted butter, vanilla extract, and lemon juice or vinegar. Mix well.

🍃3. Make the Batter

In another bowl, combine milk, melted butter, vanilla extract, and lemon juice or vinegar. Mix well.

🍃4. Let the Batter Rest

Let the batter rest for about 5 minutes. This gives the leavening agents time to work and helps create fluffier pancakes.

🍃5. Cook the Pancakes

Heat a non-stick pan over medium-low heat and lightly grease it. Pour about ¼ cup of batter onto the pan.

🍃6. Flip and Cook

Once bubbles start forming on the surface and the edges look set, gently flip the pancake. Cook for another 1-2 minutes until fully cooked.

🍃6. Serve and Enjoy

Stack your pancakes and finish with maple syrup, banana slices, fresh berries, whipped cream, or a light dusting of matcha powder.

FAQs

Why are my matcha pancakes not fluffy?

Overmixing the batter can make pancakes dense. Mix only until the ingredients are combined, and allow the batter to rest for about 5 minutes before cooking.

How do I prevent the matcha from forming lumps?

Sift the matcha powder along with the dry ingredients before mixing. This helps distribute it evenly throughout the batter.

What toppings go well with matcha pancakes?

Bananas, berries, maple syrup, whipped cream, white chocolate, and a light dusting of matcha all pair well with the earthy flavour of matcha.

How do I know when to flip the pancakes?

Flip them when bubbles begin appearing on the surface and the edges look set. Cook the other side for another 1-2 minutes.

Can I use a different type of milk?

Absolutely. Regular milk can be replaced with plant-based options such as almond, oat, soy, or coconut milk.
