Dorayaki

Dorayaki is a household dessert which comes from Japan. Although the appearance is very plain, its simple flavor is not only everyone’s memory in childhood but also the reason why it can be handed down generation to generation. However, it’s greatly easy to make this dessert. Let me introduce the recipe to you and then you can surprise your friends!


The traditional stuffing is red bean paste but you can change the stuffing freely. I want to make a good use of the custard I made last time so I’ll replace paste with it.



In formal recipe, we have to mix the paste by ourselves out of many kinds of materials. Nevertheless, in order to save time and decrease the percentage of failing, I choose to use ready-made waffle/pancake powder. You can buy it from lots of supermarkets and even convenience stores.




Add some milk into it and keep it thick so the shape of your finished dessert will be much more circular.
Besides, thick paste is easy to control when you fry it. If you want the cake smell good and look bright, add an egg and a spoon of honey is a good choice.






Turn on the stove to low flame. Remember to add a little bit oil to the pan if you don’t have a stainless one. Just utilize a bigger ladle, spoon the paste into the pan, and you don’t have to worry about how to make it a circle for it will spread itself. It’s time to turn it over when there are lots of bubbles on the surface. After seconds, one pancake is perfectly made.


Before you fry another one, remember to take the pan away from stove or pancakes will easily burn for the pan is too hot.



After being cool, spread the custard on one of them and cover another when they’re still tepid for the pancakes will closer to each other.

It’s really easy!
