Description

Fluffy honey-kissed Japanese pancakes sandwiched with smooth sweet red-bean paste (anko) — soft, fragrant, and perfect with tea. 🍵

Hook
Pillow-soft pancakes + silky anko = classic Tokyo treat!

Ingredients

  • 🥚 4 large eggs (room temp)
  • 🍯 80 g sugar
  • 🍯 30 g honey
  • 🥛 30 ml water (plus 1–2 tsp extra if batter is thick)
  • 🌾 160 g all-purpose flour (sifted)
  • 🧪 6 g baking powder
  • 🧂 1 pinch salt
  • 🛢️ Neutral oil for lightly greasing the pan
  • 🍡 500 g anko (red bean paste), smooth or chunky

Preparation

  • 1️⃣ Whisk base: Beat eggs, sugar, and honey 1–2 min until slightly foamy. Whisk in water.
  • 2️⃣ Dry mix: Sift in flour, baking powder, and salt. Whisk just until smooth; don’t overmix. Cover and rest 15 min (batter thickens and bubbles).
  • 3️⃣ Adjust: If batter is too thick, whisk in 1–2 tsp water for a slow-ribbon consistency.
  • 4️⃣ Cook pancakes: Heat a nonstick pan on medium-low. Lightly oil, then wipe almost dry. Pour 2 tbsp (≈30 ml) batter for each pancake; cook 1½–2 min until bubbles form and surface looks matte. Flip and cook 30–40 sec more. Keep color even and golden.
  • 5️⃣ Fill: Cool pancakes 5 min. Spread 1–2 tbsp anko on the underside of one pancake, cap with another to form a sandwich. Press edges gently to seal.

Advice

Wipe the pan nearly dry with oil before each batch for that even, glossy bronze surface. ✨

Why it works 💡
Excess oil fries the batter and causes mottling; a barely oiled surface promotes uniform Maillard browning.

Twist 🍓
Add a thin layer of whipped cream or fresh strawberries with the anko for a modern café-style dorayaki.
