Green Tea Pancakes

Green Tea Pancakes- Recipe 1
ingredients:
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 Tablespoon baking powder
2 Tablespoons sugar
2 teaspoons matcha (powdered green tea)
2 eggs
1-1/2 cups milk
1 Tablespoon melted butter
Strawberry compote (recipe, here)
Matcha can be found in the tea section of Japanese markets. Careful – that powder is potent and will get EVERYWHERE if you are not careful.
In a large bowl whisk together flour, baking powder, sugar and matcha.
Add the eggs, milk and butter until just combined.
Heat your skillet with a little butter and start making PERFECT pancakes.
Top with some Strawberry Compote and serve!
Strawberry Compote
I make this as a quick topping for pancakes, but it works for cakes too!
ingredients:
1 cup strawberries
2 Tablespoons sugar
1/2 teaspoon lemon zest
In a small bowl mash the strawberries a bit so they are in small chunky pieces. Pour it all into a saucepan, adding the sugar, and the lemon zest.
Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce to low and simmer for two minutes until the strawberries break down a little more.
Let cool and serve.
