Dorayaki どら焼き
Dorayaki is a Japanese dessert of fluffy pancake-like cakes filled with sweet azuki bean paste. The batter combines flour, baking powder, eggs, sugar, honey, and mirin, rested in the fridge before cooking on a hot plate. Cooking produces lightly browned cakes with a soft texture, assembled as sandwich-style treats with the red bean paste inside.

- Pour 1 scoop of ice cream scooper of the batter onto the pan. If you are using a frying pan, cook one or two at a time and if you are using an electric pan, you can make a little more at once.
- Place a lid on and cook one side for one minute and 30 seconds or when you see bubbles start to form, flip it over with an egg flipper.
- Cook the other side for about one minute.
- Remove the cake off the heat and place it between the folded kitchen towel to avoid the cake becoming dry.

Notes
- Adjust water between 40-60 ml depending on egg weight and ingredient accuracy to achieve smooth batter consistency.
- If using a frying pan, cook one or two cakes at a time on low heat; an electric griddle can cook multiple cakes simultaneously.
- Store-bought or homemade azuki bean paste can be used for filling, with recipes available for making your own.
