Matcha Crepe Roll 🍵💚

A Matcha Crepe Roll combines the delicate flavors of matcha with the soft texture of crepes. Here’s how to create this delightful treat:

Ingredients:

For the Matcha Crepes:

1. 1 cup (240ml) whole milk
2. 2 large eggs
3. 3/4 cup (95g) all-purpose flour
4. 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
5. 2 teaspoons matcha powder
6. 1 tablespoon melted butter
7. Pinch of salt

For the Filling:

1. 1 cup (240ml) heavy whipping cream
2. 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
3. 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
4. 1-2 teaspoons matcha powder (adjust to taste)

Instructions:

1. Making the Matcha Crepes: a. In a blender, combine the milk, eggs, flour, sugar, matcha powder, melted butter, and salt. Blend until you achieve a smooth batter. b. Allow the batter to rest for at least 30 minutes in the refrigerator. This helps the flour absorb the liquid, which will make the crepes tender. c. After resting, heat a non-stick skillet or crepe pan over medium heat. Lightly brush with butter or oil. d. Pour a small amount of the batter into the center of the pan, quickly tilting and rotating it, to spread the batter thinly across the bottom. e. Cook until the edges of the crepe begin to lightly brown (about 1 minute), then carefully flip using a spatula and cook for an additional 30 seconds to 1 minute, or until the crepe is set and has a few light brown spots. f. Transfer the cooked crepe to a plate and repeat with the remaining batter.
2. Preparing the Filling: a. In a mixing bowl, whip the heavy cream, sugar, vanilla extract, and matcha powder until stiff peaks form.
3. Assembling the Matcha Crepe Roll: a. Lay a crepe flat on a work surface. Spread a thin layer of the whipped matcha cream over the entire surface of the crepe. b. Roll the crepe tightly. If you prefer a thicker roll, you can stack another cream-covered crepe on top and continue rolling. c. Once rolled, trim the edges for a clean presentation (optional). d. Repeat with the remaining crepes.
4. Serving: a. Slice the matcha crepe rolls into desired widths and serve. You can dust with additional matcha powder or powdered sugar for decoration.

These Matcha Crepe Rolls are a perfect treat for breakfast, dessert, or an afternoon tea break. Enjoy your creation! 🍵💚
