Ingredients
For the Pancakes:
– 100 ml fresh milk
-100 grams cake flour
– 1 tablespoon corn starch
– 3 tablespoons granulated sugar
– 1 teaspoon MATCHAZUKI medium-grade matcha powder
– ½ tablespoon baking powder
– 1 egg
– 1 tablespoon vegetable oil or melted butter
For the Green Tea Sauce:
– 20 ml fresh milk
– 20 ml hot water
– 1 teaspoon MATCHAZUKI medium-grade matcha powder
– 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
– 2 teaspoons corn starch
Instructions
1. Prepare the Pancake Batter:
In a mixing bowl, sift together the cake flour, corn starch, baking powder, granulated sugar, and MATCHAZUKI matcha powder. Set aside.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the egg, milk, and vegetable oil (or melted butter) until well combined. Gradually pour this mixture into the dry ingredients and stir until the batter is smooth and well blended. Set the batter aside and let it rest for 15 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
2. Prepare the Green Tea Sauce:
In a small saucepan or microwave-safe bowl, combine the fresh milk, hot water, MATCHAZUKI matcha powder, granulated sugar, and corn starch. Stir until the ingredients are fully dissolved. Microwave the mixture for 30 seconds, then remove and stir again until the sauce is smooth and well combined. Set aside to pour over the pancakes.
3. Cook the Pancakes:
Heat a Teflon or non-stick pan over medium heat. Lightly grease with oil or butter, then pour a small amount of pancake batter onto the pan to form pancakes of your desired size. Cook until bubbles appear on the surface and the edges begin to set, about 2-3 minutes. Flip the pancakes and cook for another 1-2 minutes until golden brown and cooked through.
4. Serve:
Stack the pancakes on a plate and pour the prepared green tea sauce generously over the top. The matcha sauce adds a rich, aromatic flavor that perfectly complements the fluffy pancakes.
Final Notes:
These Matcha Pancakes are a simple yet delightful dessert or breakfast option that requires minimal tools. They are especially delicious when served hot with a dollop of ice cream or fresh fruit. The pancakes’ light, airy texture and the vibrant green tea sauce make them an ideal treat to enjoy with a cup of tea or coffee, ensuring a perfect start to your day.
Enjoy the smooth, rich flavor of matcha with every bite!
