Takako’s Green Tea Crepe
Adzuki beans, typically small dark red beans, can
be used fresh, dried for sprouts or ground into
meal. Naturally sweeter than many beans, they
are used in desserts as well as savory dishes.
1 cup water
1 tablespoon green tea
powder, or more to taste
1 tablespoon rice flour
(shiratamako)
3/4cup pancake mix
3/4cup vanilla ice cream
3/4cup canned adzuki
beans, sweetened
3/4cup whipped cream
flavored with green
tea powder
1. Combine water and green tea powder; combine
rice flour and pancake mix; stir enough water-tea
mixture into pancake mix to make a thin batter.
2. Pour a small amount of batter into a hot greased
skillet over medium-high heat, tipping the pan to
spread the batter as thinly as possible. When bubbles form, flip and cook briefly on the other side
until lightly browned. Remove and cool slightly.
3. Scoop a generous spoonful of ice cream onto each
crepe; sprinkle with adzuki beans and make a roll.
4. Garnish with whipped cream. Makes 2-4 servings.
Tip: Garnish with sliced bananas.
