Instructions

Step 1: Preheat & Prep
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Step 2: Make the Dough
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, matcha powder, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
Add the cold cubed butter and cut it into the dry ingredients using a pastry cutter or your fingers until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the heavy cream, egg, and vanilla extract.
Pour the wet ingredients into the flour mixture and gently mix until just combined. Do not overmix.
Fold in the white chocolate chips.
Step 3: Shape the Scones
Turn the dough onto a lightly floured surface and shape it into a 1-inch thick disc.
Cut into 8 wedges or use a round cutter for a more traditional scone shape.
Place scones on the prepared baking sheet and brush the tops with extra heavy cream.
Step 4: Bake
Bake for 15–18 minutes or until the edges are lightly golden.
Let them cool on a wire rack.
Step 5: Prepare the Glaze (Optional)
In a small bowl, whisk together powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract until smooth.
Drizzle over the cooled scones.

Notes

For a stronger matcha flavor, add an extra 1–2 teaspoons of matcha powder.

Store scones in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days or freeze for longer storage.

If you don’t have white chocolate chips, substitute with dark chocolate chips or skip them entirely.
