Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon Aiya Culinary Grade Matcha Powder
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup milk
- 2 tablespoons melted unsalted butter
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Fruits and whipped cream for decorating
- Maple syrup (optional)
Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together 1 cup flour, 1 tablespoon matcha powder, 2 teaspoons baking powder, and 1/4 teaspoon salt until fully combined.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together 1 cup milk, 2 tablespoons melted butter, 1 large egg, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract until smooth and frothy.
- Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients. Gently whisk or fold until just incorporated, being careful not to overmix.
- Preheat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and lightly grease it with butter or vegetable oil.

Notes
Ensure your butter is slightly cooled before mixing; do not overmix the batter to keep pancakes fluffy.
