Though I’m a dedicated matcha aficionado, I’ve yet to venture into baking with this green tea powder. It often appeared somewhat daunting. Let’s demystify matcha and clarify that it’s incredibly straightforward to work with, making it an excellent means to add a burst of flavor and excitement to baked goods. The harmonious union of the buttery green tea biscuits and the tantalizing sweet and spicy mango and ginger filling is a match made in heaven. Host an opulent afternoon soiree and wow your acquaintances with these indulgent finger foods:
Savoring the Fusion of Green Tea and Mango: A Vegan Delight
Vegan ingredients you’ll need to prepare refreshing green tea and mango sandwiches:
* 2 slices of whole wheat bread
?
- 2 cups flour
- 1 tbsp baking powder
- 1/2 cup vegetable oil
- 1/4 cup soymilk
- 1 tbsp matcha powder
- 1 1/2 cup mango, chopped
- Approximately 3/4 cup sugar, with a small amount added as needed.
- 1/4 tsp ginger
Preparation of Delightful Vegan Green Tea and Mango Sandwiches
- Preheat oven to 450.
- A delicate fusion of textures begins when combining flour, baking powder, and matcha green tea powder in a large, dry bowl.
- Gradually incorporate the oil into the dry ingredients. Mixing with your hands proves to be the most effective method for you.
- As you combine the milk with the flour mixture, the dough should start to come together in a cohesive ball. Gently knead the ball of dough several times to develop the gluten, before carefully rolling it out into your desired shape.
- Utilize the rim of a cup to excise uniform circles from the dough. A total of eight biscuits were yielded from a single batch.
- Sprinkle a thin layer of granulated sugar onto a flat surface and gently coat both sides of each biscuit evenly with the sweetener. Arrange the cookies directly onto a lightly oiled baking sheet. Bake for 12-15 minutes.
- While preparing your filling, combine the sweet and tangy flavors of mango, 1/2 cup of sugar, and the warmth of fresh ginger in a large skillet over medium heat.
- Boil vigorously on high heat, stirring frequently. Once the mixture has thickened slightly, reduce the heat and let it simmer for several minutes to ensure the desired consistency is achieved. Then set aside.
- Once the biscuits have cooled, you’re ready to assemble your sandwiches. Because this recipe yields a relatively modest 4 sandwiches, it cleverly prevents overindulgence.
- Savor a refreshing cup of chilled soymilk.
