Dorayaki!

Stumbled across the Chopsticks Diet book the other day, decided to buy it with the intention to return it after i have copied out some of the recipes. But eventually decided to keep it for all good reasons ... simple recipe, easy to follow and the recipe works!

My attempt to make Dorayaki (based on the book's Green tea hotcake recipe)...

Ingredients:

• 100g self raising flour
• 50g caster sugar 
• 1 tsp matcha
• 1 egg, lightly beaten
• 2 Tbsp mirin
• 50ml water
• 1 tsp vege oil

Sift flour, sugar & matcha into a bowl and make a well in the centre. Add egg, water and mirin. Whisk mixture. Heat up oil in a pan and ladle in the mixture (size vary according to personal preference). Cook for arnd 2 to 3 mins until tiny holes are visible. Turn over to cook the other side for a further 2 to 3 mins.

For Dorayaki, I bought ready made adzuki bean paste and sandwich between two hotcakes.
