Ingredients

  • 1 tbsp. matcha powder
  • 1/2 cup cake flour
  • 2 tbsp. baking powder
  • 4 egg yolks
  • 1/4 cup milk
  • 2 tbsp. honey
  • 2 tbsp. vegetable oil
  • 2 tbsp. Sunkist<sup>®</sup> Meyer lemon juice, freshly squeezed
  • 2 tbsp. Sunkist<sup>®</sup> Meyer lemon zest
  • 8 egg whites, chilled
  • 2 tbsp. granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup Sunkist<sup>®</sup> Meyer lemon juice, freshly squeezed
  • 1/2 cup honey

Directions

  1. In a large bowl, sift together the matcha powder, cake flour, and baking powder. Set aside. Lightly spray the inside of four 3-inch-wide-by-2 1/2-inch-high ring molds with nonstick cooking spray.
  2. In a medium bowl, add the egg yolks, milk, honey, oil, Meyer lemon juice and zest. Whisk well to combine, but don’t overmix batter. Small lumps are okay. In a separate bowl, beat chilled egg whites and granulated sugar for about 3 minutes, until stiff peaks form.
  3. Stir the liquid mixture into the flour mixture until just combined (it's OK if there are a few lumps). Gently stir one-third of the beaten egg whites into the flour-milk mixture. Then gently fold in the remaining egg whites until just combined (take care not to overmix).
  4. Heat a large nonstick skillet over medium-low heat. Coat with nonstick cooking spray. Put the prepared ring molds in the middle of the skillet and fill each mold with 1/2 cup of batter (it should fill each ring mold about halfway). Cover the skillet with the lid and cook for about 5-7 minutes, until the batter rises to the tops of the ring molds and is golden on the bottom.
  5. Release the bottom of the pancakes with a spatula. Grasp the sides of the ring molds with tongs to stabilize them and then carefully flip. Cover and cook until golden on the other side, about 5 minutes more. Transfer to a plate and remove the mold. Serve pancakes while hot and with Meyer Lemon Syrup. <br /> <br /> To make the Meyer Lemon Syrup: in a small bowl, add lemon juice and honey. Stir well to combine.<br /> <br /> Notes:<br /> • Special equipment: four 3-inch-wide-by-2 1/2-inch-high ring molds
