- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 tbsp culinary-grade matcha powder
- 3 large eggs (whites and yolks separated)
- 3/4 cup whole milk
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 2 tbsp granulated sugar
- 2 tbsp melted butter
Instructions
- Prepare Your Ingredients: Gather all your ingredients, separating the egg whites from the yolks.
- Mix Dry Ingredients: In a bowl, whisk together the flour, matcha powder, baking powder, and sugar until well combined.
- Combine Wet Ingredients: In another bowl, whisk the egg yolks with milk until smooth. Stir in melted butter until fully incorporated.
- Combine Mixtures: Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients and gently mix until just combined.
- Whip Egg Whites: In a clean bowl, beat the egg whites until stiff peaks form.
