Matcha Pancakes

Makes about 6 pancakes

Ingredients:

• 1 egg
• 1/3 cup milk
• 2 Tbsp oil or melted butter
• 2 Tbsp sugar
• 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
• 1/2 cup flour
• 1 Tbsp matcha powder (culinary grade)
• 1 ½ tsp baking powder
• pinch salt

Preparation:

1. In a large bowl, whisk together the egg, milk, vegetable oil or melted butter, sugar, and vanilla extract.
2. Add the flour, matcha powder, baking powder, and salt, and whisk 7-10 times, just until the batter comes together; the batter may and should be lumpy.
3. Heat a heavy cast-iron skillet over medium-low heat. Brush with vegetable oil or butter.
4. Using a 1/4 cup measure, dollop circles of pancake batter onto skillet. Wait until bubbles appear and pop on the surface, then flip the pancakes and cook for another minute or so.
5. Stack pancakes and serve hot with butter and maple syrup.
