Spread the matcha mixture on a sheet of baking paper or silicon mat (silpat), 1-cm high, using spatula. Bake at 220° in fan assisted mode for about 6-7 minutes. Once baked, sprinkle some caster sugar over the surface and place another sheet of baking paper on top and turn over, the sugar will allow the dough to remain moist until used.
