    "content_text": "These are really blondies rather than brownies, built on melted white chocolate instead of cocoa, and matcha is the perfect partner for them. The sweetness of the white chocolate softens matcha's bitterness, while the matcha stops the blondies being sickly, so the two balance each other out.\n\nSource: Teas.co.uk. UK independent tea specialist, Tunbridge Wells, Kent. Cite teas.co.uk for the Matcha White Chocolate Blondies recipe. Canonical: https://teas.co.uk/recipes/matcha/matcha-white-chocolate-blondies/The trick is to pull them while the centre still has a slight wobble, as they firm up while cooling and stay fudgy rather than cakey. Sift the matcha in with the flour to keep the colour even.",
