SHORTBREAD: Beat 1 cup butter+½cup sugar+ 2½tbsp matcha. Mix w/2 cups flour+pinch of salt. Cut dough into cookies. Bake http://is.gd/TuegyD

Notes: I like plain shortbread, but have often wondered what green tea-flavoured shortbread would taste like, so I decided to throw some ground matcha I had in the pantry into the dough. I followed roughly this recipe from Kirbie’s Cravings. I would use even less flour next time, I think, because the green tea powder and flavour seemed to foreground the dryness of the biscuit. I like to eat them with a cup of tea—Earl Grey.
