Servings 10
Ingredients
Syrup
- 1.75 ounces black sugar (50 grams)
- .75 ounces granulated sugar (21 grams)
- ¼ cup water (60 ml)
- 2 tablespoons pancake syrup
Dorayaki
- 1 cup all-purpose flour (140 grams)
- ¼ cup sweet rice flour (35 grams)
- ½ cup sugar (100 grams)
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- ½ teaspoon baking powder
- 2 large eggs
- 1 tablespoon honey
- ¾ cup milk (175 ml)
- margarine
Instructions
- Combine black sugar, granulated sugar, and water in a small saucepot. Bring to a boil over medium heat. Reduce heat to low and simmer for 5 minutes or until sauce is thick enough to coat the back of a spoon. Do not disturb mixture while simmering. Remove from heat and let cool. Mix with pancake syrup and set aside.
- Combine dry ingredients in medium bowl (flour, sweet rice flour, baking soda, baking powder, and sugar). In a separate bowl, whisk together eggs, honey, and milk. Stir dry ingredients into wet, mixing until just incorporated.
- Heat non-stick griddle over medium-low heat. Spray cooking spray, wiping away excess. Pour ¼ cup batter onto the pan to form one pancake. When bubbles arise, and pop, flip the pancake. Cook until golden brown on both sides. Remove and repeat with remaining batter.
- Let pancakes cool slightly. Spread margarine on one side of each pancake. Drizzle syrup in the center of the pancake and top with other half. Serve at room temperature.
