# Instructions:

Melt butter, mixing in white chocolate chips and matcha powder until smooth.

Using an electric mixer, whip eggs and sugars together for 3-5 minutes. Texture should look like pancake batter.

Sift in flour and salt, gently folding until just mixed.

Bake for 20 minutes at 350°F. When done, drop the pan onto the counter a few times.

Put it back into the oven for another 15 minutes, then drop the pan on the counter two more times.

# Notes:
01 -
Beating the egg and sugar mix until thick is crucial.

Fold in flour delicately to keep the batter airy.

Dropping the pan creates a chewier texture.

Chilling in the fridge for 30 minutes makes slicing easier.
