Take note
Be careful not to overmix the pancake batter, as it can result in tough and dense pancakes. Also, make sure to have oven mitts handy when cooking the pancakes, as the pan can get hot.

1

Mix the dry ingredients

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together 1 cup of all-purpose flour, 2 tablespoons of sugar, 1 teaspoon of baking powder, 1/2 teaspoon of baking soda, and 1/2 teaspoon of salt. Make sure the dry ingredients are well combined.

2

Whisk in the wet ingredients

In a separate bowl, whisk together 1 cup of buttermilk, 1 egg, 2 tablespoons of melted butter, and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract. Pour the wet ingredients into the bowl with the dry ingredients and gently whisk until just combined. Be careful not to overmix, as this can result in tough pancakes.

3

Add matcha powder

Sift 1 tablespoon of matcha powder into the pancake batter. Whisk until the matcha is fully incorporated and the batter has a vibrant green color.

4

Heat the pan and cook the pancakes

Heat a non-stick pan or griddle over medium heat. Once hot, ladle 1/4 cup of batter onto the pan for each pancake. Cook until bubbles form on the surface, then flip and cook for another minute or until golden brown. Repeat with the remaining batter, greasing the pan with butter or cooking spray as needed.

5

Prepare the berry compote

In a small saucepan, combine 1 cup of mixed berries (such as strawberries, blueberries, and raspberries), 2 tablespoons of sugar, and 1 tablespoon of lemon juice. Cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the berries break down and the mixture thickens slightly, about 5-7 minutes. Remove from heat.

Serve and enjoy

Stack the matcha pancakes on a plate and spoon the berry compote over the top. You can also add a dollop of whipped cream or a sprinkle of powdered sugar for extra indulgence. Grab a fork and dive into this matcha pancake delight!
