Essential Ingredients

Here’s what you’ll need to make this delicious dish:

• All-Purpose Flour: Use unbleached flour for a fluffier texture in your pancakes.
• Matcha Powder: Make sure to use culinary-grade matcha for the best flavor and vibrant color.
• Milk: Any type of milk works here, but almond milk adds a nice nutty flavor.
• Eggs: Fresh eggs will give your batter structure and moisture.
• Baking Powder: This is crucial for fluffiness; it helps those lovely pancakes rise.
• Sugar: A touch of sweetness balances the earthy notes of matcha perfectly.
• Butter: Melted butter adds richness and a lovely golden color when cooked.
• Vanilla Extract: Just a splash amplifies the overall flavor profile beautifully.

The full ingredients list, including measurements, is provided in the recipe card directly below.

Let’s Make it Together

Mix the Dry Ingredients: In a bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, and matcha powder until fully combined. This creates the base for your fluffy pancakes.

Create the Wet Mixture: In another bowl, combine milk, melted butter, eggs, and vanilla extract until smooth. The wet ingredients will blend seamlessly with your dry mix.

Combine Everything: Gently fold the wet mixture into the flour mixture using a spatula until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; lumps are okay

Heat Your Griddle: Preheat a non-stick skillet over medium heat until hot enough that water sizzles upon contact—this is crucial for achieving that beautiful golden brown exterior.

Pancake Time: Pour about 1/4 cup of batter onto the skillet for each pancake. Cook until bubbles form on top—this usually takes around 2-3 minutes per side.

Savor Every Bite: Once golden brown on both sides and cooked through (about 5-6 minutes total), serve immediately with your favorite toppings like maple syrup or fresh berries.

Now go ahead and treat yourself to these delectable matcha pancakes—they’re more than just breakfast; they’re a delightful way to start any day

Perfecting the Cooking Process

Start by whisking dry ingredients together, then mix in wet ingredients until just combined for fluffy pancakes.
