Ingredients
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 3 tablespoons sugar
  • 1 ½ tablespoons matcha green tea powder
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • 2 large eggs, room temperature
  • 1 cup milk, warmed
  • ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 3 tablespoons melted butter
  • ¼ cup water
  • 2 tablespoons clarified butter or cooking oil, for cooking
Directions
  1. Add the flour, sugar, matcha powder, salt, eggs, milk, vanilla, melted butter, and water together in a large bowl until it forms a smooth and thin batter.
  2. If the matcha powder creates some clumps in the batter, push it through a fine mesh sieve.
  3. Let the batter rest at room temperature for 30 minutes, or cover and refrigerate for up to two days.
  4. When ready to make your crepes, heat an 8-inch skillet over medium heat. Once hot, brush about ½ teaspoon clarified butter or oil into the pan.
  5. Pour about ¼ cup of the batter into the skillet and immediately begin to tilt the skillet in a circular motion to allow the batter to evenly cover the surface of the skillet.
  6. Allow the batter to cook until mostly set, then flip and cook until golden brown on the second side, adjusting the heat a bit to ensure golden spots, but not brown.
  7. Repeat with the rest of the batter, adding more butter between crepes as needed.
  8. As you cook the crepes, you can stack them on a plate and cover with a towel to keep them warm.
  9. Once all of the crepes are cooked, fill and roll the crepes with your choice of fillings and toppings. One possible filling is ¼ cup vanilla Greek yogurt mixed with 2 teaspoons honey and 1 teaspoon matcha powder until smooth.
  10. Serve immediately.
