In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, matcha powder, and salt until evenly combined.
In another bowl, whisk together the milk, egg, melted butter, and vanilla extract until smooth.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently mix until just combined. Do not overmix, as this can make the pancakes tough. A few small lumps are okay.
Heat a nonstick skillet or griddle over medium heat and lightly grease with nonstick cooking spray or butter.
Using a 1/4-cup measuring cup, pour batter onto the skillet to form a pancake. Cook until bubbles begin to form on the surface and the edges appear set, about 2-3 minutes.
Flip the pancake with a spatula and cook for another 2 minutes, or until golden brown and cooked through.
Repeat with the remaining batter, greasing the skillet as needed between batches.
Serve the pancakes warm with your choice of toppings, such as maple syrup, whipped cream, fresh berries, or a dusting of powdered sugar.
