Ingredients
  

  • 220 g caster or granulated sugar
  • 150 g butter
  • 120 g plain flour
  • 80 g white chocolate
  • 2 eggs beaten
  • 1 tbsp matcha green tea powder

Instructions
 

  • Heat the oven to 180C / 160C fan / gas mark 4.
  • Line a small-to-medium sized tin with parchment paper – we used a 20 x 10cm loaf tin as that was what we had handy, but a square tin or tray bake tin will do, although the final product might not be as thick.
  • Melt the butter in a bowl over a pot of bubbling but not boiling water.
  • Once the butter has melted, remove from the heat and beat in the sugar.
  • Leave the bowl to cool.
  • Once the bowl has cooled to room temperature, add in your beaten eggs.
  • Fold in the flour and matcha (just 1 tablespoon, as a little goes a long way).
  • Stir through chunks of white chocolate. We used Milkybar Buttons for ease.
  • Bake for 25 mins. The blondies will still be a little soft to touch - that’s fine, as they will harden at room temperature, but do pierce them with a skewer to check that they're fully cooked inside. The skewer should come out clean, with nothing stuck to it.
  • Leave to cool and cut into squares to serve.
