To make matcha pancake for one person:

  • 1/3 cups buttermilk (OR 1/3 cups or 80ml non-skimmed milk and 2 teaspoons or 10ml white vinegar)
  • 1 Tablespoons or 15g melted butter
  • 1 small egg or 1/2 large egg, lightly beaten

  • 2 Tablespoons or 25g sugar
  • 3/4 teaspoon of baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon of salt

To make your single serve matcha pancake:

  • If making your own buttermilk: mix the milk with the vinegar then set aside for 5 minutes.
  • Place all the dry ingredients in a large bowl.
  • Make a well in the center of the bowl, then pour in the beaten egg, buttermilk (or your homemade buttermilk made from milk and vinegar) and melted butter. Mix until the pancake batter is just combined.
  • Heat a pan over medium heat with a little butter or oil.
  • Place a small ladle of batter in the pan. Cook until bubbles appear. Turn the matcha pancake over and cook it again until it turns slightly brown.
  • Serve hot with berries, fruit, honey or maple syrup!
  • Other more decadent toppings include white chocolate chips and raspberries, sliced banana, walnuts and honey or simply a spoonful of nutella.

Tip: Make sure not to over mix the batter, or the matcha pancakes will not be as airy and light.

FAQ

Is there an alternative to using buttermilk?

Yes, you can use yogurt mixed with water to make this single serve matcha pancake. The correct ratio is three parts yogurt to one part water.

Is there an alternative to butter for the matcha pancakes?

Yes, you can use vegetable oil or other oils, just be mindful that a stronger tasting oil will impact the taste of the matcha pancake. The best substitute for butter to make the best single serve matcha pancake recipe is vegetable oil.

What is the best matcha powder to use?

The best type of matcha powder to use for making pancakes is ceremonial grade – this means that it has been carefully grown under shaded conditions and then stone-ground into fine particles – because this grade has more flavor and aroma. Also look for organic matcha tea powder which indicates higher quality control over conventional products on store shelves; these teas are free from additives. Additionally make sure you have access freshness tested dates visible on packaging before buying anything off shelves too – some stores don’t always stock freshest supplies available at any given time…

What is the best way to story leftover matcha pancakes?

These matcha pancakes contain eggs, so should not be left out on the counter for longer than a couple of hours. You can store them in your fridge for a few days in a ziplock sandwich bag or air proof container. I have not tried freezing them but this might be an option.
