1teaspoonmatcha green tea powder(or 2 teaspoons for more pronounced flavour)
1cupboiling water
1/2teaspoonbaking soda
oil for pan frying
Instructions
In a large bowl whisk together buttermilk, egg, oil, flour, and sugar until there are no lumps. Alternatively, use a blender to mix everything together.
Sift match green tea powder into the batter. Not sifting the powder may result in clumps.
In a small bowl mix together boiling water and baking soda.
Add boiling water and baking soda mixture to the batter and whisk well.
Let the batter sit for about 10 minutes. Meanwhile prepare the pan or pans. If you have two pans the same size then you can make two crepes at a time.
Heat an 8" pan on medium heat. Generously brush it with oil.
If you are using an 8" pan then pour just under a 1/4 cup of batter while swirling the pan to coat the bottom. If there's not enough batter then add a few drops more. You may need to adjust the amount of batter depending on your pan.
Cook for about 1.5-2 minutes until the edges start to crisp up and let go of the pan. Try to lift up the crepe with your hands, if it still sticks to the pan then cook a few seconds more. Once it's cooked properly on the first side and the pan was well oiled, it will not stick anymore.
Flip the crepe using your hands on another side and cook for 30 more seconds.
Slide the crepe onto a large plate and cover with a lid to keep the heat inside. This will soften the edges.
Repeat with the remaining batter making a stack of crepes.
Notes
For this particular recipe I used buttermilk powder. You can use 1/8 cup of buttermilk powder for 1 cup of water.
