I'm so glad there is a make-up Tuesday this month because it gives me the opportunity to bake the Matcha Financiers which I hoped to get done this month!
We were away for two weeks, visiting sons in Seattle and Portland. While in Seattle, I looked for matcha tea and found it in a beautiful tin at Remedy Teas. However, the beautiful tiny tin of tea cost $30 and that seemed too pricey when I only needed 1 1/2 teaspoons! Happily, I found a bin of matcha in the bulk section of the Central Co-op and was able to buy just the right amount for the reasonable price of $0.85! I had to transport that tea back home, however, so as to be able to use my favorite mixing bowls and pans.

| The little bit of matcha that I bought from the Co-op for $0.85! It may look like there is a lot in the bag, but that's because the inside of the bag was coated with the fine powder as it traveled from Seattle, WA to Rochester, NY. |
 |
| All my ingredients ready. |
 |
| Stirring in the matcha and flour. |
 |
| Not really pea-green, but definitely shiny. |
 |
| Going into the oven. I decided to make just enough for this evening and more tomorrow. |
 |
| Mine didn't turn out as green as some of the pictures I saw. Difference in the matcha? |
 |
| I meant to take a picture of the split level pudding but didn't remember until it was all gone! It was scrumptious! |
There are still some posts up of other baker's Matcha Financiers. Check them out here: https://tuesdayswithdorie.wordpress.com/2016/03/22/bcm-lyl-matcha-financiers-or-odiles-fresh-orange-cake-2/
