Ingredients you’ll need:
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 3/4 cup sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 3 large eggs
- 1/4 cup water
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup sweetened red bean paste
- Vegetable oil for cooking
Step 1: Prepare the Batter
In a mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, sugar, and baking powder. In a separate bowl, whisk the eggs and then add them to the dry mixture. Gradually pour in the water and vanilla extract while stirring the batter until smooth and well combined.
Step 2: Cook the Pancakes
Heat a non-stick pan or griddle over medium heat. Lightly grease the surface with vegetable oil. Pour 1/4 cup of the batter onto the pan, spreading it into a circular shape. Cook for about 2 minutes on each side until golden brown. Repeat this process with the remaining batter, adjusting the heat if necessary.
Step 3: Assemble the Dorayaki
Once all the pancakes are cooked, let them cool for a few minutes. Take one pancake and spread a generous amount of sweetened red bean paste onto the center. Place another pancake on top to create a sandwich-like structure. Repeat this step for the remaining pancakes and filling.
Step 4: Enjoy!
Your homemade dorayaki is now ready to be enjoyed! Take a bite and savor the perfect combination of fluffy pancakes and the irresistible sweetness of the red bean paste. Dorayaki can be served as a delightful snack with tea or enjoyed as a dessert. Store any leftovers in an airtight container for up to two days.
