Dorayaki, Delicious Japanese Pancakes Preparation time: 15 minutes Cooking time: 10 minutes Total time: 25 minutes Servings: 4 Discover the magic of Japanese pancakes with this simple Dorayaki recipe. These delicious fluffy pancakes are filled with red bean paste (anko) or other favorite ingredients, making them perfect for an energizing breakfast or a quick dessert. With just a few ingredients on hand, you can achieve a result worthy of the best patisseries in Japan! Necessary ingredients: - 2 large eggs - 100 g sugar - 1 tablespoon sweet soy sauce (optional, for extra flavor) - 150 g flour - 1 teaspoon baking powder - 100 ml water - Oil for frying - Red bean paste (anko) or Nutella, for filling Step-by-step instructions: 1. In a medium bowl, beat the eggs with the sugar and sweet soy sauce (if you choose to use it) until the mixture is homogeneous and frothy. This step is essential for achieving fluffy pancakes, so don’t rush! 2. Sift the flour and baking powder directly into the egg mixture, and gradually add the water. Gently mix with a spatula or whisk to avoid lumps. It’s important not to overmix, or the pancakes will become dense. 3. Let the batter rest for 10 minutes. This will help develop the flavors and achieve a better texture. 4. Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and lightly grease it with oil. Use a ladle to pour portions of batter into the skillet, forming circles about 8-10 cm in diameter. 5. Fry the pancakes for 2-3 minutes on each side or until bubbles appear on the surface and the edges turn slightly golden. Carefully flip the pancakes, taking care not to ruin their shape. 6. Once the pancakes are ready, place them on a platter and let them cool slightly. 7. Fill each pancake with red bean paste (anko) or Nutella. You can also add slices of banana or fresh strawberries for extra flavor and texture. 8. Fold each pancake in half or into quarters and enjoy every bite! Useful tips: - You can experiment with various fillings: cream cheese, dulce de leche, or even fruit jams. Each variation adds a personal touch and an explosion of flavors. - If you want fluffier pancakes, you can add a tablespoon of yogurt to the batter. - Make sure the skillet is well-heated before adding the batter to achieve a nicely browned crust. Serving suggestion: Serve Dorayaki warm, alongside a cup of green tea or latte, for an authentic Japanese experience. These pancakes are also great for picnics, being easy to transport and enjoy outdoors.

Preparation

1. We mix whole eggs with sugar until they double in volume and lighten in color. 2. We gradually add flour to avoid lumps. We also add the 2 tablespoons of honey and mix. 3. Finally, we add the baking powder dissolved in water, mix, and let the dough rest covered in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes. 4. We heat a non-stick frying pan (we do not grease it). We fill a ladle halfway and let the batter flow into the pan without shaking it (the batter will take a round shape by itself). When the first bubbles appear on the surface of the pancake, we flip it to the other side. Both sides should be smooth and brown, and the edges should be light in color. Japanese pancakes are served as they are or with jam. Enjoy your meal! The recipe for Dorayaki, Japanese pancakes, was proposed by Laura_A on the recipe forum.
