Ingredients and Variations
Flour - Flour is the key ingredient for these crepes. All-purpose flour works best here.
Matcha - Use high quality matcha for the best flavor and vibrant green color! You can adjust the amount of matcha to your liking.
Eggs - To bind the ingredients together and provide structure.
Sugar - Sugar is optional but balances the slight bitterness from matcha. If you prefer a "sweeter" crepe, add in a tablespoon of granulated or caste sugar.
Salt - Just a pinch to balance flavor.
Milk - Use semi-skimmed or whole dairy milk, or neutral-flavored plant-based milk such as oat milk, rice milk, or cashew milk.
Water - Makes up the remaining "liquid" portion of these crepes.
Butter - To brush the skillet to prevent sticking

How to Make Matcha Crepes
Make the Batter
Sift and mix the dry ingredients (flour, sugar, matcha, and salt). Add the eggs, one by one, and whisk well.
Add the milk and water and mix well to incorporate. The batter should be smooth and free from lumps as much as possible.
Rest the Batter
Let the batter rest at room temperature for at least 15 minutes. For the fluffiest crepes, do not skip this step!
Alternatively, you can cover and chill the batter overnight.
Cook
Heat a small skillet on medium-high. Brush the skillet with melted butter.
Pour around ¼ cup of batter and swirl the skillet in a circular motion to evenly coat it with batter.
Cook for 2 minutes, then flip and cook for another minute. Transfer to a serving plate and repeat for the remaining batter.
How to Serve
Serve this matcha crepes with your favourite toppings and fillings, such as:
- Dust with powdered sugar
- Fill with fresh fruit such as fresh berries or sliced banana

Making Ahead and Storing
These crepes are best served fresh. If you must, store crepes (without fillings and toppings) in an airtight container and chill for up to 1 day.
