Dorayaki

If you like flour, you’ll love this Japanese snack — 40 minutes from craving to table. It is weeknight cooking that still hits your targets — 8 grams of protein per serving. No specialty equipment and nothing hard to find at a regular grocery store.

Ingredients

• 1.5 cups Flour
• 3 Eggs
• 0.75 cup Sugar
• 2 tbsp Honey
• 0.5 tsp Baking soda
• 0.25 cup Water
• 1.5 cups Anko
• 1 tbsp Mirin

Steps

1. Whisk the eggs, sugar, and honey until pale and thick. Fold in the flour and baking soda, then the water and mirin; rest 15 minutes.
2. Cook small pancakes in a dry nonstick pan over medium-low — no oil. They should be evenly golden, like little suns.
3. Cool the pancakes completely. Warm pancakes melt the filling into a mess.
4. Sandwich generous spoonfuls of anko between pairs, pressing the edges to seal.
5. Serve at room temperature with tea. Doraemons favorite, and the pancake-to-filling ratio is a matter of personal honor.
