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

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour, matcha green tea powder, baking powder, salt, and sugar. Mix well to combine.

Step 2

In a separate bowl, whisk together the egg, milk, and vanilla extract until fully blended.

Step 3

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.

Step 4

Gradually pour the wet mixture into the dry mixture, stirring until just combined. Take care not to overmix; the batter should be slightly lumpy.

Step 5

Preheat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Lightly grease the surface with cooking spray or a small amount of butter.

Step 6

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.

Step 7

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.

Step 8

Transfer the cooked pancakes to a plate and keep them warm while repeating with the remaining batter.

Step 9

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!
