Recipe from oh nino with the addition of matcha.
- 70g plain flour
- 2 tsp matcha (up to you)
- 2g Salt
- 70g Unsalted butter
- 80ml Milk
- 5 Egg yolks
- 1Tsp Vanilla extract
- 5 Egg whites
- 1/4Tsp Lemon juice
- 90g Sugar
Mold size square 16cm
I used a regular loaf tin
- Sift your flour, matcha and salt into a bowl
- Boil the unsalted butter, then add the milk and take off the heat
- Pour the butter-milk mix over your dry mix and whisk. It should be smooth and thick.
- Separate your egg whites and yolks.
- Beat your egg whites, add in the lemon juice and beat until it starts to show bubbles. We used a kitchenaid at medium speed.
- Pour the sugar in two parts slowly until they reach soft peaks
- Add the yolks to the butter, flour milk mix.
- Combine both together using folding motions and pour into a lined loaf tin.
- Place on a tray with water.
- Bake at 150℃ for 70-80 minutes or until a stick comes out clear.
