  • preparation 5 minutes
  • cooking 10 minutes
  • difficulty Easy level

Ingredients

  • 1 cup plain flour
  • 1 tsp caster sugar
  • pinch salt
  • ½ tbsp matcha powder
  • 3 eggs, lightly beaten
  • cups milk

Instructions

  1. Combine the flour, sugar, salt and matcha powder in a large bowl and make a well in the centre. Pour in the eggs and gradually whisk in the milk until you have a smooth batter.
  2. Heat a crepe pan on medium heat and melt a little butter. Ladle in some of the mixture and swirl to cover the base of the pan. Once it starts to detach, flip over and cook the other side. Repeat the process with the rest of the batter.
