Ingredients

Scale

    • 1 cup (120g) cake flour

    • 2 tablespoons matcha powder

    • 2 tablespoons sugar

    • ½ teaspoon baking powder (optional for fluffier crepes)

    • 3 large eggs

    • 1¾ cups (420ml) whole milk (warm)

    • 1½ tablespoons melted unsalted butter

    • ½ teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)

    • Neutral oil (for cooking)

 


Instructions

  1. Arrange the Crepes: Lay a large sheet of parchment paper on your working surface. Position 4–5 crepes slightly overlapping in a horizontal row to form a long sheet.
  2. Apply the Cream: With an offset spatula, evenly spread a thin layer of whipped cream across the crepes. Be sure to leave a ½-inch border on the edges to avoid any overflow while rolling.
  3. Start Rolling: Begin rolling from one edge, gently guiding the crepes into a log shape with the help of the parchment paper.
  4. Secure and Chill: Wrap the crepe roll tightly in plastic wrap and refrigerate it for 1–2 hours to allow it to set. 💡 Tip: Rolling too loosely may leave gaps inside, while rolling too tightly may cause the crepes to tear.
