Instructions
Mixing Dry Ingredients
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, matcha, sugar, baking powder, and salt until well combined.
Preparing Wet Ingredients
In a separate bowl, whisk together the milk, egg, melted butter (or oil), and vanilla extract until smooth.
Combining Wet and Dry Ingredients
Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients and stir gently until just combined. A few lumps are okay!
Cooking the Pancakes
Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat and lightly grease it. Pour about ¼ cup of batter for each pancake. Cook for 2–3 minutes until bubbles form, then flip and cook for another 2–3 minutes until golden brown.
