Instructions

Step by step

1
Add the flour, baking powder and sugar into a large bowl and add the matcha powder
2
Mix together, then create a well in the centre and add the egg and half the milk.
3
Beat thoroughly with a whisk, until you have a smooth and thick batter,
4
Heat a drop of oil in a large non-stick frying pan over a medium to high heat.
5
Drop the batter into the hot pan in small 10ml dops - space each spoonful of the mixture well apart to allow it to spread.
6
Cook until small bubbles start to appear on the surface (about ) then turn over with a silicone spatula - you are looking for light golden brown on both sides. You’ll find the second side cooks more quickly - in about
7
lift the scones on to a cooling rack then cover them with a clean tea towel - this helps to keep them soft and warm.

Continue the batch to completion
