Ingredients:
- 2 large eggs (about 55g each, without shell)
- 20ml milk
- 35g all-purpose flour
- 1.25ml vanilla extract (optional)
- 30g sugar
- 10g Sunwide Matcha Latte Powder (for batter)
- 50ml thickened cream (for whipped cream topping)
- Sunwide Agar Agar Raspberry Balls (for topping)
- Neutral oil (for greasing the pan)
- Water (for steaming in the pan, approx. 5-10ml per cooking cycle)
Instructions:
-
Prepare the Batter:
-
Separate the egg yolks and egg whites into two bowls.
-
To the bowl with the egg yolks, add 20ml milk and mix well.
-
Sift in 35g all-purpose flour and 10g Sunwide Matcha Latte Powder . Mix until just combined.
-
Stir in 1.25ml vanilla extract (optional).
-
Make the Meringue:
-
Whisk the egg whites until they start to form bubbles.
-
Gradually add 30g sugar in small batches, whisking continuously until stiff peaks form.
-
(Optional tip: Add ½ tsp cream of tartar to stabilize the meringue.)
-
Combine:
-
Gently fold a small amount of the meringue into the egg yolk batter to lighten it.
-
Then carefully fold the rest of the meringue in, being cautious not to deflate the mixture.
-
Cook the Pancakes:
-
Heat a non-stick frying pan over low heat and lightly grease it with oil.
-
Transfer the batter into a piping bag (or a sandwich bag with the tip cut off).
-
Pipe the batter into the pan in a circular motion to form thick pancakes. (Tip: Only do 1-2 pancakes at a time.)
-
Add about 5ml water to the edge of the pan, cover with a lid or foil, and cook for 3-4 minutes.
-
Carefully flip the pancakes, add another 5ml water to the pan, cover, and cook for another 3-4 minutes.
-
Make the Matcha Cream:
-
Warm 50ml thickened cream in the microwave until just warm (about 20 seconds).
-
Whisk in 10g Sunwide Matcha Latte Powder until smooth.
-
Whip the mixture until thick and fluffy.
-
Assemble:
-
Stack the pancakes on a plate.
-
Dollop the matcha whipped cream on top.
- Garnish with Sunwide Agar Agar Raspberry Balls for a fruity burst!
