Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons matcha powder
- 2 eggs
- 1 1/4 cups milk
- 2 tablespoons melted butter
- 1 tablespoon sugar
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1/2 cup mascarpone cheese
- 1 tablespoon powdered sugar
Instructions
- In a mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, matcha powder, eggs, milk, melted butter, sugar, and salt until smooth.
- Heat a non-stick pan over medium heat and lightly grease it with butter or oil.
- Pour a small amount of batter into the pan, swirling to coat the surface. Cook for 1-2 minutes until the edges lift slightly, then flip and cook the other side for 30 seconds. Remove and set aside.
- In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream, mascarpone, and powdered sugar until soft peaks form.
- Spread a thin layer of cream onto each crepe and layer them on top of each other. Repeat until all crepes are used.
- Roll the stacked crepes into a tight cylinder and refrigerate for 3-4 hours, or overnight for best results.
- When ready to serve, slice into pieces and garnish with a dusting of matcha powder or fresh berries.
Notes
Ensure that your crepes are not overcooked, as they should be soft and pliable for rolling. Refrigerating the cake helps the flavors meld together.
