Instructions

1. 1

   In a mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, matcha powder, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.

2. 2

   In another bowl, combine the milk, egg, melted butter, and vanilla extract, whisking until well mixed.

3. 3

   Gradually pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, gently mixing until just combined. Avoid overmixing to keep the batter light and fluffy.

6. 6

   Repeat with the remaining batter.

7. 7

   To prepare the sweet vanilla cream, whisk the heavy whipping cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract in a chilled bowl until soft peaks form.

8. 8

   Serve the pancakes stacked with a dollop of sweet vanilla cream on top and your choice of optional toppings like fresh fruits or a drizzle of maple syrup.
