Made with vibrant green matcha powder and drizzled with white chocolate, these scones are the perfect combination and sweet and savory and will tantalize your taste buds. Next time you're in the mood for something special, bake up a batch of these matcha scones with white chocolate drizzle.
Preheat oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, and matcha powder.
Freeze the butter for 15-30 minutes then grate the butter with a box grater. Using a pastry blender, food processor, or your fingers, cut the butter into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs.
In a small bowl, whisk together the egg, milk, and vanilla extract. Add this to the flour mixture and stir until everything is evenly moistened.
Transfer the dough to a floured surface and knead gently until it comes together. Roll or pat the dough into a 1-inch thick disc. Cut the dough into 8 wedges (like a pizza) and transfer to the prepared baking sheet.
Bake for 15-18 minutes, or until the scones are cooked through. Remove from the oven and allow to cool slightly, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
Once the scones have cooled, melt the chocolate in a double boiler or in the microwave. Drizzle the chocolate over the scones and let the chocolate set for 5-10 minutes before serving.
