How to make I love You Scones for Valentine's Day 我愛你鬆餅





This year, I decided to make scones instead of cookies for Valentine's Day.  It is a simple butter scone recipe, but I increased the amount of butter here and the flaky scones taste even more soft and buttery.  Also, green tea is a perfect ingredient to give deluxe flavour to scones, just like cocoa.  Try it, I'm sure you will like it.



Ingredients:
2 cups All Purpose Flour
120 gram Cold Salted Butter, cubed
3 tablespoons Sugar
3/4 cup Whole Milk
1.5 tablespoons Baking Powder
1.5 teaspoons Green Tea Powder
1 Egg

材料:
2 杯   麵粉
120 克   凍牛油,含鹽,切小粒
3 湯匙   糖
3/4 杯   全脂奶
1.5 湯匙   泡打粉
1.5 茶匙   綠茶粉
1 隻   雞蛋
