Green Tea & Amanatto Scones
Ingredients
Instructions
-
Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
-
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, and matcha green tea powder.
-
Cut the cold butter into small cubes and add it to the dry ingredients. Use a pastry cutter or your fingers to cut the butter into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs.
-
Stir in the amanatto.
-
In a separate bowl, whisk together the heavy cream, egg, and vanilla extract. Pour the wet mixture into the dry mixture and stir until just combined.
-
Transfer the dough onto a lightly floured surface and gently knead it a few times until it comes together. Pat the dough into a 1-inch thick circle.
-
Use a sharp knife or a round cookie cutter to cut the dough into 8 equal wedges.
-
Place the scones onto the prepared baking sheet and brush the tops with a little heavy cream.
-
Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the scones are golden brown.
-
Remove from the oven and let them cool on a wire rack for about 10 minutes before serving.
