Ingredients

Scale

1 cup all-purpose flour
2 tsp matcha powder
1 tsp baking powder
2 tbsp granulated sugar
1/4 tsp salt
3/4 cup milk (whole or plant-based)
1 large egg
2 tbsp melted butter

Instructions

Prepare your ingredients by measuring everything out accurately.
In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, matcha powder, baking powder, sugar, and salt until well combined.
In a separate bowl, whisk the milk, egg, and melted butter until fully mixed.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry mixture and stir gently until just combined; avoid over-mixing to keep the pancakes fluffy.
Preheat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and lightly grease it with butter or oil.
Pour about half a cup of batter onto the skillet for each pancake. Cook until bubbles form (about 2-3 minutes), then flip and cook until golden brown.
