Ingredients

• 130 grams all-purpose flour
• 100 grams granulated sugar
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 2 large eggs
• 1 tablespoon honey
• 50 milliliters water
• 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
• 200 grams sweetened red bean paste (anko)

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs and granulated sugar until the mixture is slightly frothy and pale.

Step 2

Add the honey and whisk until thoroughly combined.

Step 3

Sift the all-purpose flour and baking powder into the egg mixture. Gently fold together until just combined.

Step 4

Gradually add the water while stirring to achieve a smooth batter. Let the batter rest for about 10 minutes.

Step 5

Heat a non-stick frying pan over medium-low heat and lightly grease it with the vegetable oil.

Step 6

Pour a small ladleful of batter (about 2 tablespoons) onto the frying pan to form a pancake approximately 8 cm in diameter. Cook until bubbles form on the surface and the edges become slightly dry, about 2 minutes.

Step 7

Flip the pancake and cook for another 1-2 minutes until golden brown. Transfer to a plate and repeat with the remaining batter.

Step 8

Allow the pancakes to cool slightly. Take one pancake and spread about 2 tablespoons of red bean paste on one side. Place a second pancake on top to form a sandwich.

Step 9

Repeat with the remaining pancakes and red bean paste.

Step 10

Serve the dorayaki fresh, or store them in an airtight container for a few hours before serving.
