DORAYAKI (Japanese Red Bean Pancake)
Dorayaki is a Japanese food. It
is a red bean pancake. Doraemon and Nobitalike to eat dorayaki a lot.
They say that Shizuka cooks the best dorayki in the whole world
Dorayaki is a type of Japanese confection,
а red bean pancake which consists of two small pancake-like patties
made from castella wrapped
around a filling of sweet Azuki red bean paste.[1] [2] Dorayaki
are similar to Imagawayaki,
but the latter are cooked with the batter completely surrounding the bean paste
filling and often served hot.
Dorayaki
originally only had one layer, and the current shape was invented in 1914 byUsagiya in the Ueno district of Tokyo.[3]
In Japanese, dora means
"gong", and
because of the simililarity of the shapes, this is probably the origin of the
name of the sweet.[2][3] Legend
has it that the first Dorayaki were made when a samurai named
Benkei forgot his gong (dora) upon leaving a farmer’s home where he was
hiding and the farmer subsequently used the gong to fry the pancakes, thus the
name Dorayaki.[3]
How to make DORAYAKI
Prep Time: 30 minutes
Cook Time: 30 minutes
Yield: 8 Dorayaki
Ingredients:
·
4 eggs
·
140g (2/3 cup) sugar
·
2 Tbsp. honey
·
160g (1 cup) all-purpose
flour
·
1 tsp. baking powder
·
1-2 Tbsp. water
·
1 (18 oz/520g) can
Ogura-An, or homemade sweetened red bean paste
Instructions:
In a large bowl, combine eggs, sugar, and honey and whisk
well until the mixture gets fluffy
Sift flour and baking powder into the bowl and mix. Keep in the fridge to rest for 15 minutes.
Stir in ½ Tbsp of water at a time to get the
right consistency. It should be a little bit thicker than pancake batter. If
the batter is too thin, Dorayaki buns will be too flat and not fluffy.
Heat a large non-stick frying pan on
medium-low to medium heat. Dip the paper towel in oil and coat the bottom of
the pan with the oil. The pan should be slightly oiled but shouldn’t be
visible. That’s the secret to get nice texture on the surface of Dorayaki. With
a ladle, drop the batter from 1 foot above the pan to create 3 inch diameter
“pancake”. When you see the surface of batter starts to bubble, flip over and
cook the other side. Transfer to a plate and cover up with damp towel to
prevent from drying. Continue making pancakes.
Make sandwich with red bean paste. Put more
red bean paste in the center so the shape of Dorayaki will be curved (middle
part should be higher). Quickly wrap them with saran wrap until you ready to
serve.
EASY & YUMMY !!
