Method
 

Instructions
  1. Combine Dry Ingredients: In a medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, matcha powder, baking powder, and granulated sugar until well mixed and vibrant green.
  2. Combine Wet Ingredients: In another bowl, beat the eggs and whisk in the milk and melted butter until fully blended.
  3. Incorporate Mixes: Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients and gently fold together until just combined, leaving a few lumps.
  4. Prepare Cooking Surface: Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat, around 350°F (175°C), lightly greasing to prevent sticking.
  5. Cook Pancakes: Pour about half a cup of batter onto the skillet. Cook about 3 minutes until bubbles form, flip, and cook for another 2 minutes until golden brown.
  6. Serve: Serve warm, drizzled with maple syrup, topped with fresh strawberries or blueberries.
