Ingredients

• 120 grams all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 120 milliliters low-fat milk
• 2 large eggs
• 50 grams sugar
• 1 tablespoon honey
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 as needed cooking spray
• 200 grams sweetened red bean paste

Directions

Step 1

In a medium-sized bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour and baking powder. Set aside.

Step 2

In a separate large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs and sugar until pale and frothy.

Step 3

Add the honey and vanilla extract to the egg mixture and whisk until well combined.

Step 4

Gradually add in the sifted flour and baking powder, alternating with the milk, stirring gently until the batter is smooth and lump-free. Be careful not to overmix.

Step 5

Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and let the batter rest in the refrigerator for about 10 minutes.

Step 6

Heat a non-stick skillet over low to medium heat and lightly coat with cooking spray.

Step 7

Pour a small ladleful of batter (about 2 tablespoons) onto the skillet, forming small, round pancakes. Cook until bubbles appear on the surface and the edges seem set, about 2 minutes.

Step 8

Flip the pancake and cook for another 30 seconds until delicately golden brown. Repeat with the remaining batter, reapplying cooking spray as necessary.

Step 9

Allow the pancakes to cool slightly. To assemble the dorayaki, spread a generous amount of sweetened red bean paste onto one pancake and top it with another to create a sandwich.

Step 10

Serve the dorayaki warm or store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days.
