Tips for cooking

・This recipe uses honey. Please be careful not to let children below the age of 1 (infants) consume them. ・Please make sure to preheat the oven before baking. If the oven does not have a preheating function, set the temperature and heat for 10 minutes before baking. The strength of the heat may vary depending on the type of oven and the period of use. Please make sure to follow the recipe as a guide but adjust the baking time as needed. If it browns too fast, cover it with aluminum foil. ・You can also use cake flour (pastry flour) instead of bread flour. If you use the bread flour, you will make thick castella; If you use the pastry flour, you will make a fluffy one. Please make it as you like. ・We use sugar-free matcha powder. ・Please adjust the sweetness to your liking.
