Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 150 grams All-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon Baking powder
- 100 grams Sugar
- 3 large Eggs
- 80 milliliters Unsweetened almond milk
- 1 tablespoon Vegetable oil
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 200 grams Anko (sweet red bean paste)
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour and baking powder. Set aside.
In another bowl, whisk together the sugar and eggs until the mixture is pale and light.
Add the unsweetened almond milk, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract to the egg mixture and whisk until fully combined.
Gradually add the flour mixture to the wet ingredients, whisking continuously to avoid lumps. Mix until a smooth batter forms.
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium-low heat. Lightly grease the skillet with a bit of vegetable oil if necessary.
Scoop about 2 tablespoons of batter onto the heated skillet. Spread it slightly to form a round shape and cook until bubbles form on the surface and the edges look set, about 2 minutes.
Carefully flip and cook the other side for about 1 minute, until golden brown. Remove from the skillet and repeat with the remaining batter.
Once all pancakes are cooked, allow them to cool slightly.
Take one pancake, place about a tablespoon of anko (sweet red bean paste) in the center, and cover it with another pancake. Gently press the edges to seal.
Repeat the filling process with the remaining pancakes to make dorayaki sandwiches.
Serve immediately or store in an airtight container for up to 2 days.
