Preparation 4   Mix butter and milk, and melt it.
  1. Put egg and granulated sugar in a bowl, and beat it with an electric mixer at a high speed. At that time, putting the bowl in hot water makes it more form. (double-boil)
  2. After it becomes fluffy, beat it with an electric mixer at a low speed for a minute to steady down the foam.
  3. Put flour "Preparation 3" in "3" while sifting, and cut in by rubber spatula.
  4. After mixing it well, put part of it in "2", and mix it well. After that, put it back in "3" again, and mix equally.
  5. Pour and flatten it in baking sheet, roast it in a 180-degree oven for 8 minutes.
  6. Reverse and put on the paper-lined net, peel of the paper on the reverse side of cake. Cover the cake with the peeled paper, and cool it down.
[Direction2 How to make roll]
  1. Add granulated sugar in fresh cream, beat it in moderation (The peak of meringue bows.) .
  2. Lay the underside of sponge cake up on the paper, place 1 fresh cream on it and spread that fresh cream by palette. At that time, spread cream thick on the front side of it, and spread cream lightly on the other side.
  3. Put boiled chestnuts on the front side of it, and roll up the sponge in the shape of a roll cake. Like a hand-rolled sushi! Have anyone ever made it? At that time, it is easy to roll it with paper. Put it rolled by paper in the refrigerator.

Today's dessert is matcha cookie.
I baked matcha cookies. These colors are very beautiful, are not they?
Matcha cookie is mild sweet, and so you can eat a lot.  :-)
Because matcha is very good for the body, this is very healthy Japanese dessert.
A secret of good matcha cookie is using drinking matcha which is superior to matcha for sweet making.  If you use drinking matcha, the matcha cookie gets pronounced matcha flavor.

  • Butter                    75g
  • Powdered sugar     50g
  • Cake flour             100g

  6. Flatten out the cookie dough. And wrap it in plastic wrap and refrigerate on overnight.
  7. Take out the cookie dough from the refrigerator. Divide it into three parts. Pile up three parts and knead it until soft. And shape the dough into a stick.
