Ingredients

• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• ½ tsp salt
• 2 eggs
• 1¼ almond milk
• 2 tbsp. coconut oil + extra for cooking
• 2 tbsp Premium Culinary Matcha

Instructions

1. Use a medium-sized mixing bowl to sift and combine all the dry ingredients. That includes flour, salt, and matcha powder.
2. Whisk your eggs & almond milk in a smaller bowl.
3. Pour ¼ of the egg mix, at a time to the other bowl. Whisk while you add the batter.
4. Add coconut oil into your crepe mix. Whisk until you get a silky smooth texture. Avoid lumps and clumps to ensure that you get paper-thin crepes.
5. Cover the crepe batter with plastic wrap and pop it in the fridge.
6. Refrigerate overnight (or at least 1 hour) to set the batter.
7. Heat the frying pan/crepe pan by keeping the stove at a high medium heat.
8. Then grease and season the pan with oil before pouring ¼ cup of crepe batter. The shorter sides make flipping them easier. Make sure that your batter spreads evenly.
9. Cook crepe for 30 secs-1 min. (or until it is cooked).
10. Flip over to cook the remaining side (30 secs).
11. Repeat step 8-10 for the rest of the batter. You might have to adjust the heat to prevent the crepe from burning.
12. Stack your crepes on a serving plate or baking sheet while you cook the remaining batch. Cover the cooked ones with a clean kitchen towel to absorb excess oil.
13. Douse and drizzle your crepes with natural sweeteners, honey/maple syrup. Add whipped cream if you are feeling indulgent.
14. Serve your plate of homemade matcha crepes with fresh seasonal fruits and a hot cuppa on the side.

Notes

1. Add the matcha flavor depending on your taste buds and the intense color you want. You may increase or decrease the quantity as you like it.
2. Make paper-thin crepes by whipping the batter well. Stop when you get a silky smooth batter.
3. It prevents your crepes from becoming moist while you cook the rest.
