For the flan maker
Instructions
1. Preparing the shortcrust pastry:
- In a large bowl, combine the flours, almond powder, and salt.
- Add the oil or butter and mix until you obtain a sandy texture.
- Gradually add the water, then the egg, until a smooth dough forms.
- Roll out the dough in a pie dish and refrigerate for 15 minutes.
2. Preparing the flan mixture:
- In a small cup, mix the matcha with a little hot water to obtain a smooth paste without lumps.
- Bring the milk to a boil with the vanilla.
- Beat the eggs in a separate bowl.
- Mix the cornstarch with the sugar and matcha.
- Add this mixture to the beaten eggs, then slowly add the hot milk while whisking to obtain a smooth mixture.
3. Cooking:
- Pour the flan mixture onto the shortcrust pastry.
- Bake in a preheated oven at 200°C for 40 minutes.
- Check whether it is cooked by inserting the blade of a knife: it should come out clean.
- Let the flan cool to room temperature, then place it in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours.
Recipe notes
Vegan version: use plant-based milk (almond, rice, or coconut) and replace the eggs with a substitute such as agar-agar (approximately 2 g).
High-quality matcha: for an intense flavor and bright green color, choose organic culinary matcha.
Adjustable sugar: if your matcha is of good quality, you can reduce the amount of sugar or replace it with agave or maple syrup.
This matcha flan is perfect for parties, as an original snack, or to introduce your loved ones to the flavors of Japanese green tea. Its creamy texture and bright color make it a dessert that is as beautiful as it is delicious.
