Ingredients
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons matcha powder
- 2 tablespoons sugar
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup buttermilk
- 1 large egg
- 2 tablespoons melted butter
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Butter or oil for cooking
- Maple syrup, fresh fruit, or whipped cream for serving
Instructions
- Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, matcha powder, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt until well combined.
- Combine Wet Ingredients: In another bowl, whisk together the buttermilk, egg, melted butter, and vanilla extract.
- Combine Mixtures: Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently mix until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; a few lumps are okay.
- Cook Pancakes: Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat and lightly grease it with butter or oil. Pour 1/4 cup of batter onto the skillet for each pancake. Cook until bubbles form on the surface, about 2-3 minutes, then flip and cook for another 1-2 minutes until golden brown.
- Serve: Stack the pancakes on a plate and serve warm with maple syrup, fresh fruit, or whipped cream.
