Step 1

Wash the spinach thoroughly under running water. Take the milk out of the fridge in advance to bring it to room temperature. Wash the eggs well, dry them with paper towels, and separate the yolks from the whites, keeping 4 egg whites and 2 yolks.

Step 2

In a large bowl, mix the wheat flour, buckwheat flour, and matcha tea powder.

Step 3

Pour boiling water over the spinach and let it sit for 7 minutes. Then drain completely and rinse with cold water. This softens the spinach and enhances its bright green color.

Step 4

Squeeze out excess liquid from the spinach and blend it until smooth.

Step 5

In a bowl, combine the egg whites and yolks. Add the spinach, milk, honey, and salt. Mix until smooth.

Step 6

Add the flour mixture to the batter. First, mix with a whisk, then blend again for a smoother consistency. Let the batter rest for 15-20 minutes. The buckwheat flour will absorb moisture, and the batter will thicken to the consistency of kefir. If it's too thick, add warm water or milk.

Step 7

Heat a frying pan well. If needed, lightly grease it with vegetable oil. Pour a ladle of batter into the center of the pan. If it doesn’t spread easily, help it with a ladle or spoon. Cook the pancakes for 3-4 minutes on one side until golden brown.

Step 8

Flip the pancake with a spatula and cook for another 1-1.5 minutes on the other side. Grease the pan with oil only if the pancakes start sticking.
