Green Tea Matcha Pancakes

I was craving something a little more different than regular pancakes this morning. And it hit me...GREEN TEA PANCAKES. Some of you may already know through a few of my videos that I'm like mad obsessed with everything green tea. It really just gives this very clear, cleansing kind of taste? I have a giant pouch of green tea powder and it seems very easy to flavor things up with green tea by just adding a tablespoon here and there in everything. I loved these pancakes, they were very thick and fluffy, and matcha pancake heaven! I served it with a side of scrambled eggs, but I really wished I had bacon! Could only imagine how nommy green tea and bacon would go together now.

Yield: 3 Pancakes

Ingredients

• 1 egg

• 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
• 2 tablespoon granulated sugar
• 1/2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
• 1/2 cup all purpose flour
• 1 tablespoon matcha powder
• 1 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
• A pinch of salt

Directions

1. In a large measuring cup or bowl (measuring cup for easy pouring) mix together 1 egg, 1/2 cup of milk, 2 tablespoons vegetable oil, 2 tablespoon granulated sugar, 1/2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract. Add in 1/2 cup of all purpose flour, 1 tablespoon of matcha powder, 1 1/2 teaspoon of baking powder, and a pinch of salt. Stir only 10 times, and keep it lumpy. 
2. Cook on a griddle or pan that has been lightly greased with some butter or sprayed with oil. Pour on pancakes (this recipe makes 3 pancakes) cook one side until bubbles appear, then flip it over and cook for an additional 1 minute. 

NOTE: We want a thick pancakes by having a lumpy batter, an over mixed batter will make flat pancakes.
