Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups All-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons Matcha green tea powder
- 2 teaspoons Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 2 tablespoons Sugar
- 1 large Egg
- 1.25 cups Milk
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 3 tablespoons Butter
- 1 as needed Cooking spray or butter for greasing
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour, matcha green tea powder, baking powder, salt, and sugar. Mix well to combine.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the egg, milk, and vanilla extract until fully blended.
Melt the butter in the microwave or on the stovetop and let it cool slightly. Add the melted butter to the wet ingredients and stir.
Gradually pour the wet mixture into the dry mixture, stirring until just combined. Take care not to overmix; the batter should be slightly lumpy.
Preheat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Lightly grease the surface with cooking spray or a small amount of butter.
Using a ladle or measuring cup, pour about 1/4 cup of batter onto the skillet for each pancake. Space them out evenly to avoid spreading into one another.
Cook for 2-3 minutes on one side, or until bubbles form on the surface and the edges start to look set. Flip the pancake and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes, or until golden brown.
Transfer the cooked pancakes to a plate and keep them warm while repeating with the remaining batter.
Serve your Alien Pancakes warm with your favorite toppings, such as syrup, whipped cream, or fruit. For a more alien-like touch, sprinkle with edible glitter or use bright-colored food drizzles!
