Method

• step 1

  Whisk together the glutinous rice flour, sugar, matcha powder, baking powder and a pinch of salt in a bowl until evenly combined. Heat your air fryer to 190C or the oven to 175C/150C fan/gas 4.

• step 2

  Pour in the milk, melted butter and vanilla extract, then mix to a smooth batter.

• step 3

  Lightly butter a small oven-safe dish or mini cake tin (mine was 5 x 5 inches) that fits in your air fryer, if using. Pour in the batter, smoothing the top with a spoon. Bang the dish a few times against the counter to remove any large air bubbles.

• step 4

  Bake in the air fryer for 15 mins or in the oven for 50 mins-1 hr. The top should be slightly crisp and a toothpick inserted into the middle should come out mostly clean, with a few moist crumbs.

• step 5

  Let the brownies cool completely before cutting. Dust with some matcha powder for the ultimate green colour. Drizzle with melted white chocolate and top with some strawberries, if you like.
