The amanatto I bought and was planning to add to bread dough was about to expire...I felt like eating scones, so I mixed in the amanatto and made these. These Japanese-style scones turned out to be just the right flavor combination for me.

Steps

1

Finely chop the green tea. Using a food processor makes this really easy.
2

Use any kind of amanatto that you like. This time I used a mix of different kinds.
3

Add the A ingredients for the scone dough to the food processor and process until smooth. Then add the B ingredients and process again, lightly. The dough should still be floury.
4

Then transfer the dough to a bowl, add the green tea and amanatto, and mix.
5

Mix until it looks like the dough in the photo. There should still be some flour visible in the dough.
6

Place the dough on a floured surface. Roll the dough out and fold it into thirds. Repeat this step 3 times.
7

Roll the dough out to a thickness of 2.5 cm and cut it out. This time I simply cut the dough with a knife.
8

Brush the surface of the scones with milk. Bake for 15-20 minutes in an oven preheated to 200ºC.
9

When the scones are a nice golden brown color, they are done.
10

They'll be crunchy on the outside and soft on the inside, with bits of amanatto peaking out.
