Matcha Scones with White Chocolate
- 240 grams Cake flour
- 1 tbsp Baking powder
- 2 tbsp Matcha
- 35 grams Granulated sugar
- 60 grams Unsalted butter
- 100 ml Milk
- 1 Egg yolk (size L)
- 90 grams White chocolate
- 45 grams White chocolate (for decoration)
- Sift the ingredients together in a bowl.
- Chill the butter in the fridge until just before you use it.
- Preheat the oven to 355F/180C.
- Chop the white chocolate and leave in the fridge.
- Add the well-chilled butter to the sifted and cut the butter with a dough cutter or bench scraper until the butter is pea sized (small pieces).
- Using your palms, rub the butter into the flour until the mixture resembles powdered cheese.
- If you have a food processor, it is much easier.
- Instead of two steps, it is just one.
- Mix the sifted and the well-chilled butter in the food processor.
- Make a well in the centre of the dry ingredients.
- Drop an egg yolk and add milk.
- Mix with a dough cutter in a cutting motion until the mixture begins to hold together.
- Then add the chopped chocolate.
- Using your palms, shape the dough into a ball, do not knead, just use a pushing motion towards the bowl.
- Wrap the dough with plastic wrap and rest in the fridge for about 1 hour.
- Turn the dough onto a surface lightly floured with strong flour.
- Roll out to 2.5 cm thick with a rolling pin and cut into 9 pieces with a knife or round cutter.
- Bake in an oven preheated to 355F/180C for about 20 minutes.
- Transfer to a wire rack to cool.
- Place the white chocolate in a heatproof bowl over a sauce pan half-filled with simmering water.
- Stir until the chocolate melts and is smooth.
- Now drizzle spoonfuls of melted chocolate on top of the scones.
- Done.
- It is also nice without chocolate.
- Eat as soon as possible once out of oven!
- Crispy outside and fluffy inside!
- Very yummy!
