Matcha Pancake Ingredients:

1 cup all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon sugar
2 teaspoons matcha powder

¼ teaspoon salt
⅔ cup whole milk
1 egg
1 Tablespoon melted butter
½ teaspoon vanilla

Step 4: Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients and stir in the milk, egg, butter, and vanilla, until just combined. Set aside the cocoa batter.

Step 5: In a skillet over low heat, add a tablespoon of matcha batter to the pan to form a circle. Use a spoon to drag out two long lines from both sides of the circle to create Yoda’s ears.

Step 7: For the bodies, in the same skillet over low heat, add 2-3 tablespoons of cocoa batter to the pan, creating triangle shapes.
