Start your morning with a burst of energy from these matcha hotcakes.

• Ready In: 17 mins
• Yields: 8 pancakes

Ingredients

• 1  cup flour
• 3  tablespoons sugar
• 1  tablespoon  matcha green tea powder
• 1⁄2 teaspoon baking soda
• 1⁄2 cup milk
• 2  tablespoons milk
• 1⁄2 cup yogurt
• 1  egg
• 2  tablespoons  vegetable oil

Directions

1. Combine flour, sugar, matcha and baking soda in a large bowl. Whisk in the wet ingredients (milk, yogurt and egg) until the batter is smooth.
2. Heat a saute pan over medium-low heat. Brush the inside of a metal ring mold or cookie cutter (about 3 inches across) with oil. Add remaining oil to pan and place the ring mold in the middle of the pan. Fill the ring mold 2/3 of the way up with the batter and place a lid on the pan. Make sure that the lid does not rest on top of the ring mold.
3. Cook for 5 minutes, then remove lid and cook for 1 more minute (or until bubbles start to form on top of the hotcake). Carefully flip the pancake and ring mold and cook the other side for 5 minutes with the lid, then 1 minute without.
4. Remove from the pan and and run a knife along the inside of the ring mold to unmold the hotcake. Serve warm with syrup.
