Dorayaki Recipe

 

Ingredients:

 

For the Pancakes:

 

  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/4 cup sugar
  • 1 tbsp honey
  • 3/4 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 tsp baking powder
  • 2-3 tbsp water

For the Filling:

 

  • 1/2 cup sweet red bean paste (anko)

Instructions:

 

  1. Prepare the Batter: In a mixing bowl, beat the eggs, sugar, and honey until smooth. Sift in the flour and baking powder, mixing until just combined. Add water, 1 tbsp at a time, until the batter is smooth and pourable.

  2. Cook the Pancakes: Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and lightly oil it. Pour about 2 tbsp of batter onto the skillet to form small, round pancakes. Cook for 1-2 minutes until bubbles form, then flip and cook for another 30 seconds. Remove from heat and repeat with remaining batter.

  3. Assemble the Dorayaki: Spread a spoonful of red bean paste on one pancake and top with another to form a sandwich.

  4. Serve: Enjoy fresh or store in an airtight container. Optionally, wrap individually for easy snacking.
