Ingredients (serves 4):
Instructions:
Step 1: Make the batter
- Mix dry ingredients: In a large bowl, combine matcha powder, flour, sugar, and salt.
- Whisk the eggs: In another bowl, beat eggs for 5 minutes until light and foamy. This helps make waffles airy.
- Add wet ingredients: Add melted butter and milk to the eggs, then mix until smooth.
Step 2: Cook the waffles
- Combine: Gradually fold the dry mix into the wet mix until the batter is smooth.
- Cook: Preheat and lightly oil your waffle iron. Pour in a portion of batter and cook until golden and crisp.
Step 3: Serve
- Enjoy: Let waffles cool slightly, then top as you like with berries, icing sugar, syrup—or even a tiny extra dusting of matcha.
