Dorayaki
Dorayaki is a popular Japanese confectionery consisting of two small pancake-like patties made from castella wrapped around a filling of sweet azuki red bean paste. According to tradition, the original version was made from a single pancake folded in half, but the modern version consists of two layers, making it look like a stuffed cake. Dorayaki is particularly popular in Japan and is often eaten as a snack or dessert. The secret to the perfect Dorayaki is to whisk the batter properly and bake it slowly to ensure the desired soft and springy texture. The aroma and taste of freshly made Dorayaki will bring back the magic of traditional Japanese sweets in every bite.
