Dorayaki is a beloved Japanese dessert that consists of two small pancake-like patties with a sweet filling sandwiched in between. The most common filling is adzuki bean paste, which is made by boiling and mashing sweet red beans. Other popular fillings include chestnut cream, chocolate, and matcha cream. Dorayaki is often associated with the manga character Doraemon, who is known for his love of the dessert. It is a treat that can be enjoyed all year round, but is especially popular during the Japanese holiday Children's Day, where it is offered to kids as a symbol of good luck and prosperity.

Instructions

1.Rinse the adzuki beans and soak them in water overnight.
2.Drain the beans and place them in a pot with enough water to cover them. Bring to a boil, reduce heat to low, and simmer until the beans are tender, about 1 hour.
3.Add the sugar and salt to the pot and stir until the sugar is dissolved. Continue to simmer until the water has been absorbed by the beans.
4.Mash the beans into a smooth paste and let it cool.
5.In a large bowl, combine flour, sugar, honey, and baking powder. Mix well.
6.Beat the eggs and add it to the flour mix. Mix thoroughly.
7.Add enough water to the batter to get the right consistency (aim for a pancake batter consistency).
8.Add the adzuki bean paste and mix until well combined.
9.Heat a non-stick pan on medium heat. Add some oil or butter to the pan and pour the batter onto the pan (aim for about 1/4 cup of batter per pancake).
10.Cook until bubbles form on the surface of the pancake, then flip it over and cook for another 1-2 minutes until golden brown.
11.Remove the pancake from the pan and let it cool before filling with the adzuki bean paste.
12.Serve and enjoy!
