Ingredients

• 200 grams all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoon baking soda
• 75 grams granulated sugar
• 250 milliliters unsweetened soy milk
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
• 200 grams red bean paste (anko)

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and baking soda. Add the granulated sugar and whisk to combine.

Step 2

In a separate bowl, mix the unsweetened soy milk, vanilla extract, and vegetable oil.

Step 3

Gradually add the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, whisking gently until you have a smooth batter. Take care not to overmix.

Step 4

Let the batter rest for about 10 minutes at room temperature. This will help achieve fluffy pancakes.

Step 5

Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Lightly grease the surface with a little vegetable oil if needed.

Step 6

Pour a small ladleful (about 2 tablespoons) of the batter onto the skillet to form a small pancake. Cook until bubbles appear on the surface, and the edges look slightly dry, about 2-3 minutes.

Step 7

Flip the pancake and cook for another 1-2 minutes until the bottom is golden brown. Remove from the skillet and set aside. Continue until all the batter is used.

Step 8

Spread about 1 to 2 tablespoons of red bean paste on one pancake, then top with another to make a sandwich. Gently press together.

Step 9

Repeat with the remaining pancakes and red bean paste.

Step 10

Serve the Vegan Dorayaki slightly warm or at room temperature and enjoy!
