Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 120 grams all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 2 large eggs
- 80 grams granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 2 tablespoons milk
- 1 teaspoon vegetable oil
- 200 grams adzuki red bean paste (anko, sweetened)
Instructions
In a medium bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour and baking powder. Set aside.
In another large bowl, whisk the eggs, granulated sugar, and honey until the mixture is pale and slightly thickened.
Gradually add the flour mixture to the egg mixture. Stir gently until fully combined, but do not overmix.
Add the milk and vegetable oil to the batter and mix until smooth. Cover the bowl and let the batter rest in the refrigerator for 15 minutes.
Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium-low heat. Lightly grease with a small amount of oil, then wipe off any excess with a paper towel.
Spoon about 2 tablespoons of batter onto the skillet to form a small round pancake, approximately 8-10 cm in diameter. Cook for about 1-2 minutes, or until bubbles form on the surface and the edges look set.
Flip the pancake gently with a spatula and cook for another 1-2 minutes, or until golden brown on the second side. Transfer to a plate and cover with a clean kitchen towel to keep warm. Repeat with the remaining batter.
Once all the pancakes are cooked, take one pancake and spread approximately 2 tablespoons of sweetened red bean paste (anko) on the flat side.
Top with another pancake, flat side down, to create a sandwich. Press gently to seal the edges.
Repeat with the remaining pancakes and filling. Serve fresh or store in an airtight container for up to 1 day.
