There is no Pancake day in Japan, but I'm doing it anyway:) I made a type of Japanese pancake called "どら焼き (Dora yaki)". They are like pancake sandwiches which have Annko (sweet azuki bean paste). The pancakes are normally thick and soft sponge-like texture. The traditional Dorayaki has Annko in it, but recently a number of varieties can be found... with whipped cream, cream cheese, custard... almost anything...
Making Dorayaki at home is simple. Just make American style thick pancake with a bit of honey in it, and sandwich anything you like! Be creative, make it modern!
Ingredients;
Flour 80g
Rice flour 20g
Baking powder 1 tsp

4. Make pancakes one at a time. Cook both side.
5. Rest the cooked pancakes for 10 minutes. Sandwich Annko.
