Ingredients
  

For the Matcha Pancakes:
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour 120g
  • 1 tbsp matcha powder culinary or ceremonial grade
  • 1 tbsp granulated sugar
  • 1 tsp baking powder

  • ¼ tsp salt
  • ¾ cup milk (or plant-based milk) 180ml
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 tbsp melted butter plus more for cooking

For the Whipped Cream:
  • ½ cup heavy cream 120ml
  • 1–2 tbsp powdered sugar

Method
 

  1. Blueberry Compote: In a saucepan, combine blueberries, sugar, and lemon juice. Simmer 5–7 minutes. Add cornstarch slurry for thickness, simmer 1–2 minutes more, then remove from heat.
  2. Whipped Cream: In a chilled bowl, whip heavy cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla until soft peaks form. Refrigerate.
  3. Matcha Pancakes: Whisk dry ingredients together. Whisk wet ingredients in another bowl. Combine gently.

  5. Assemble: Stack pancakes, spoon blueberry compote on top, and add whipped cream. Garnish as desired.
