Dorayaki

Yield

Makes 4 sandwiches

Ingredients

• 3 eggs
• 105 g granulated sugar
• 1½ Tbsp honey
• 1 cup all purpose flour
• ¾ tsp baking powder
• 1–1½ Tbsp water
• Neutral oil or butter, for greasing pan
• 4 oz red bean paste

Instructions

1. Combine eggs, sugar, and honey in a large bowl. Whisk until light and fluffy.
2. Sift in flour and baking powder, whisk until just combined.
3. Refrigerate for 15 minutes.
4. Remove from refrigerator and whisk in 1 Tbsp of water and mix. The consistency should be like pancake batter (can run, but not liquid). Add the rest of the water if necessary.
5. Heat a griddle or nonstick frying pan over medium-low heat. Grease the pan, and use a ladle to scoop about 3 Tbsp of batter for each pancake. They will spread, so don't overcrowd too much. They should be about 3in in diameter each, and you should get 8 total out of the batter.
6. When you see bubbles over the surface of the pancake, and the edges beginning to dry, flip and cook on the second side, they go quick about 1-1.5 minutes per side.
7. Re-grease the pan between batches and continue cooking until the batter is used.
8. When the pancakes are ready, sandwich two of them together with red bean paste.
9. Enjoy as is, or sprinkled with powdered sugar.
