Matcha Scones

I needed something to eat with the clotted cream, so I made matcha Scones. I needed to use up the matcha powder anyway. They turned out nicely moist and hearty. Best eaten with jam and of course the clotted cream.

Feels like a classy high tea session already.

Freshly baked and smelling yummy

Gave them some light for 'good skin'

Preparing them to be packed and shared

Here's the recipe.

Ingredients

235g all purpose flour
90g unsalted butter (cubed and cold)
90g whipping cream
50g caster sugar
10g green tea powder
1 egg
1 tbsp baking powder
1/4 tsp salt
1 tbsp milk for glazing

1. Preheat the oven at 200 degree celcius.

2. Sift flour, green tea powder and baking powder together.

3. Add sugar and salt, whisking to combine.

4. Add the cold butter and rub the butter into the flour using the tip of your fingers. The resultant product should resemble coarse sand.

5. Add the egg and whipping cream and mix till just combined.

6. Roll the dough out and cut out 5cm rounds using a cookie cutter.

7. Leave to rest on a baking tray for 30 min.

8. Brush the top of the scones with milk and bake in preheated oven of 200 degrees for 13-15 minutes.

I made these delicious Scones to go with jam and painstakingly made clotted cream. It was delicious!

Enhancing the colour to make them look for appetizing. They tasted really good.
