15.80oz (450 gr)red bean paste (anko), or another filling, nutella or jam, etc.
Instructions
In a medium sized bowl, sift ntogether the flour along with the baking powder and salt.
In a big bowl, beat the eggs, sugar and honey together using an electric mixer or a hand whisk for about 5 minutes until the mixture lightens in color and triples its size.
Add the flour mixture into the eggs mixture in three separate additions. Beat for 30 seconds tops after each addition, just until the ingredients are integrated, not to overbeat.
Cover the bowl with kitchen plastic wrap and refrigerate for 15 minutes until the mixture becomes a bit thicker.
Take the batter out of the fridge, add in the water and mix using a hand whisk to make it a little runnier.
Place a big pan on the stove over low-medium heat and wait for it to heat up. Take some kitchen paper with oil and spread the oil on the pan, making sure to remove the excess oil, this is to make dorayakis have an even color. Then, using a measuring cup add 3 tbsp of the batter to the oan and create 3.15 inches (8 cm) in diameter pancakes.
When the surface of the pancake starts to form bubbles, turn over and cook on the other side. It will take about 1 minute and 15-30 seconds to cook on the first side and then 20-30 seconds to cook on the other side. Put the dorayaki on a plate and cover with a damp kitchen towel, so it doesn't dry up.
Repeat the process with the rest of the batter to get 12 pancakes. You don't need to grease the pan again to keep cooking the pancakes.
Once the dorayaki are ready, fill them by spreading some filling on the bottom of one of the pancakes and then place the other pancake on tpo of that, so they have thar particular shape and thickness. You should get 6 Dorayakis.
To store them, wrap each dorayaki in kitchen plastic wrap and then store them in the fridge for up to 2 days, or in the freezer for up to 1 month.
