Equipment

• 1 Mixing bowls large and medium
• 1 Whisk
• 1 Non-stick skillet or griddle
• 1 Measuring cups and spoons
• 1 Spatula
• 1 Hand mixer or stand mixer
• 1 Serving plates

Ingredients

  

For the Pancakes

• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 1 tbsp matcha powder (green tea powder)
• 2 tsp baking powder
• 2 tbsp granulated sugar
• 1/4 tsp salt
• 3/4 cup whole milk
• 1/2 cup ricotta cheese
• 2 large eggs
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
• 2 tbsp unsalted butter melted

For the Honey Whipped Cream

• 1 cup heavy whipping cream chilled
• 2 tbsp honey
• 1/2 tsp vanilla extract

Instructions

 

For the Pancakes

• Prepare the Dry Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, matcha powder, baking powder, sugar, and salt.

  Tip: Use culinary-grade matcha for the best balance of flavor and affordability.
  
• Combine the Wet Ingredients: In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the milk, ricotta, eggs, vanilla extract, and melted butter until smooth.

  Tip: For smoother pancakes, ensure your ricotta is well-drained and creamy.
  
• Mix the Batter: Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, gently mixing until just combined. Avoid overmixing to keep the pancakes light and fluffy.

  Tip: If the batter feels too thick, add a splash of milk to adjust the consistency.
  
• Heat the Skillet: Preheat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Lightly grease with butter or oil.
  
• Cook the Pancakes: Pour 1/4 cup of batter onto the skillet for each pancake. Cook until bubbles form on the surface and the edges are set, about 2-3 minutes. Flip and cook for another 1-2 minutes until golden brown. Transfer to a plate and keep warm. Repeat with the remaining batter.
  

For the Honey Whipped Cream

• Whip the Cream: In a chilled mixing bowl, use a hand mixer or stand mixer to whip the heavy cream until soft peaks form.
  
• Add Flavorings:Add the honey and vanilla extract, then continue whipping until stiff peaks form. Be careful not to overwhip.

  Assembly

  Tip: Pancakes can be kept warm in a 200°F (93°C) oven until ready to serve. The whipped cream can be made up to 2 hours in advance and stored in the refrigerator.

  Stack the pancakes on a plate and top with a generous dollop of honey whipped cream. Garnish with fresh berries or a drizzle of honey, if desired.

Notes

Cooking Tips

• Matcha Quality: Choose culinary-grade matcha for a vibrant green color and balanced flavor.
• Batter Consistency: Don’t overmix the batter—it should be slightly lumpy for the fluffiest pancakes.
• Toppings: Experiment with toppings like toasted coconut, crushed nuts, or caramel sauce for added variety.
