Ingredients

• 100g / 3.5 ozBread flour
• 100g / 3.5 ozCake flour
• 5g / 1 teaspoonBaking powder
• 10g / 2 teaspoonsMatcha powder
• 35g / 1 ozBrown sugar
• 60g / 2 ozMargarine or butter(salted)
• 70ml / 2.5 fl ozMilk
• 30g / 1 ozWhite chocolate chips

Instructions

1. 1

   Preheat oven to 170-180°C (340-355°F).

2. 2

   In a bowl, combine the bread flour, cake flour, baking powder, matcha powder, and brown sugar. Whisk together about 20 times until the color is uniform.

3. 3

   Add the margarine and cut it into the flour mixture using a pastry cutter or fork until it resembles coarse crumbs.

4. 4

   Add the milk and white chocolate chips. Fold with a rubber spatula until the dough comes together. Once it starts to form, use your hands to fold and press, creating layers.

5. 5

   Press the dough into a circle at the bottom of the bowl.

6. 6

   Cut into 8 wedges with a pastry cutter or knife. Arrange on a baking sheet without touching the cut sides (this helps them rise and split nicely).

7. 7

   Bake at 170-180°C (340-355°F) for 18-20 minutes. About 2 minutes before done, rotate the pan for even browning.

Tips

• ✓Do not touch the cut sides when placing on the baking sheet; this allows for a beautiful rise.
• ✓Fresh from the oven, they are crispy; the next day they become soft and moist.
• ✓Use a mix of bread flour and cake flour for the best texture.
• ✓The margarine can be replaced with butter for a richer flavor.
