Matcha scones with dark chocolate chips
Easy-to-make, tender and slightly moist matcha scones made with matcha powder and dark chocolate chips.
Ingredients
- 2 cups all purpose flour
- 1/3 cup granulated sugar
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 4 tsp matcha powder
- 8 tbsp butter, melted
- 1 egg
- 1/2 cup sour cream
- 1/2 cup dark chocolate chips
- Turbinado sugar to sprinkle on top
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400F. Lightly grease baking sheet.
- In a large bowl, combine flour, sugar, baking powder and matcha powder. Mix until the ingredients are evenly disbursed.
- In a small bowl, whisk together egg and sour cream until smooth.
- Add the melted butter and the sour cream mixture into the large bowl with dry ingredients. Mix using a fork until all the dry ingredients are completely mixed in but still lumpy. Do not over-mix.
- Divide the dough into roughly 2 equal parts. Flour your work surface and transfer the first half to the floured surface. Using your hands, shape each divided dough into a 3/4" think, 6" diameter round shape.
- Using a knife or a pizza cutter, cut each round into 4, 6 or 8 wedges (like pizza) depending on how big you want each scone to be.
- Transfer the wedges to the baking sheet, about 1" apart. Sprinkle Turbinado sugar on top of each wedge - just enough to give a little texture.
- Bake for about 15-17 minutes until lightly browned. Serve warm or at room temperature.
