This is a request from Boston. I had never worked with matcha before and was worried about how it would be in a sweet application. It took a little trial and error to get the ratio of sweet to savory right. I hope you like it.
1 stick butter
1 cup water
1 tablespoon milk
1 cup flour
1/8 teaspoon salt
4 large eggs

Preheat oven to 375.
In a 2 quart sauce pan, add water, butter, and milk and bring to a boil.
With a whisk stir in flour then beat with mixer.
Remove from heat and add eggs one at a time and beat, beat, beat!
Using an small ice cream scoop, scoop dough out on a parchment-lined sheet.
Bake for 18-24 minutes until golden brown.
Let cool.

When mixture boils, add small amount (1/4 cup) to beaten egg yolks and stir; repeat twice.
