Matcha Crepes
Matcha Crepes offer a delicate green tea flavor infused into thin, tender crepes made with all-purpose flour, eggs, milk, and matcha powder. The batter is blended until smooth and rested to improve texture. Cooking the crepes over medium-low heat produces a soft, lightly browned crepe that's ideal for wrapping fruits and whipped cream. These crepes make a refined breakfast or dessert when garnished with powdered sugar, fresh fruit, and maple syrup.

Cup of Yum
When ready to cook:
- Remove crepe batter from the fridge and give it a stir.
- Heat up a frying pan over medium-low heat.
- Lightly grease with 1 teaspoon of vegetable oil and wipe off any excess oil with paper towel.
- Using a ¼ C measuring cup, scoop the batter and pour into the frying pan (I used an 8" frying pan), tilting it so the entire surface is coated with a thin layer of batter.
- Let it cook for about 2 minutes on one side, and then flip and cook for another 30 seconds on the second side.
- Remove the matcha crepe and place onto a cooling rack to cool completely.
- Repeat with the remainder of the crepe batter.
- Serve matcha crepes with a dusting of powdered sugar, whipped cream and fresh fruit.
Notes
- This recipe yields approximately 6 to 8 crepes, each about 8 inches in diameter, depending on the size of your frying pan.
