In a mixing bowl, beat the eggs thoroughly, and then add milk and stevia powder. Mix until well combined.
Sift the flour and baking powder into the egg mixture, and stir until the batter is smooth and free of lumps.
Add honey and water to the batter to achieve a pourable consistency that is slightly thicker than pancake batter.
Heat a non-stick frying pan over medium-low heat. Lightly grease the pan with a small amount of vegetable oil.
Pour about 2 tablespoons of batter onto the heated pan, forming small circles approximately 3 inches in diameter. Cook until bubbles form evenly on the surface and the edges are set.
Flip the pancakes and cook for another minute until golden brown. Repeat with the remaining batter.
Allow the pancakes to cool slightly. Spread about 1-2 tablespoons of low-carb anko (red bean paste) onto one pancake and then top it with another pancake, sandwiching the filling in between.
Serve immediately or wrap in plastic wrap and store at room temperature for up to two days.
