These light and fluffy matcha pancakes are served with fruit, whipped cream, and maple syrup. Not only is it super delicious, but it also makes a stunning presentation. Perfect for Mother�s Day brunch or a Sunday breakfast with your loved ones.
I�m not the type of person who misses home every second. However, when Mother�s Day approaches, I do miss the mother-daughter time I had back in China. My mom has a sweet tooth � on the weekends when we went to the mall, we would always go to our favorite Hong Kong dessert place, order bubble tea, and snack on small plates. While my choice of snack has always been salty things, such as crispy tofu and chicken wings, she prefers sweet pancakes and waffles.
Although I�m not able to spend this year�s Mother�s Day with her, I decided to develop this recipe as a Mother�s Day gift. After she retired, she started to learn to make desserts at home, and she enjoys hosting brunch with her friends. These matcha pancakes are perfect for such occasions.
These matcha pancakes take no time to prepare. They have a beautiful mild green color and a fragrant green tea taste. I garnish them with whipped cream and strawberries, which makes a stunning presentation.
I used my Vitamix to make the batter, which cuts the prep time down to as little as 5 minutes. However, you can make this recipe without a blender, as well (I�ve included the method in the recipe below). Make sure you use a large skillet so you can cook several pancakes at a time.
I enjoy serving the pancakes with whipped cream and just a drizzle of maple syrup, which brings out the green tea flavor. I also serve extra fruit on the side to snack on. Serve some mimosas in champagne glasses, and you�ll have a beautiful, delicious, and full brunch ready in 20 minutes.
