Ingredients
Matcha Scones
- 28 g cold salted butter
- 120 g all-purpose flour
- 2 ½ teaspoon matcha
- ½ tablespoon baking powder
- 15 g granulated sugar plus extra for sprinkling on top
- 125 ml heavy whipping cream reserve 1 tablespoon for brushing the tops
- 2 tablespoon flaked almonds
Bergamot Glaze
- 15 ml whole milk adjust to the consistency you prefer
- 24 g icing sugar sifted
- ½ teaspoon culinary bergamot oil
Instructions
Matcha scones:
- Preheat the oven to 400°F/204°C.
- Line a baking tray with parchment paper. Set aside.
- In a food processor, add in the butter, all-purpose flour, sifted matcha powder, baking powder and sugar.
- Pulse intermittently until the mixture becomes sandy or mealy, like coarse bread crumbs.
- Gradually add in the heavy cream while pulsing a few times, just until the dough starts to form. Don't over mix the dough or it will become tough.
- Dump the mixture onto your work surface or a large piece of parchment paper and gently shape into a square, about ½ inch thick.
- Use a sharp knife to cut into 4 triangles (on the diagonal) and place onto the lined baking tray.
- Place into the freezer for 15-20 minutes to chill.
- Remove from the freezer and brush the tops of the scones with 1 tablespoon reserved heavy cream. Add a few flaked almonds and sprinkle the tops with sugar (if you wish).
- Bake for 15-17 minutes at 400°F/204°C until lightly golden. If your oven runs hot, cover with a piece of aluminum foil over top.
- Remove from oven and cool completely before drizzling with bergamot glaze.
