Description
Vegan dorayaki is a snack that is a favorite amongst Japanese people and also myself! It’s delicious, just the right amount of sweetness, and quite easy to make! It’s perfect for on-the-go and perfect for any time of the season. If you haven’t had Japanese treats, then you should try this. It is a little sweet taste of Japan.
Ingredients
- 1 ⅓ cup (170g) – all-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoon (15g) – agave
- 1 ½ teaspoon – baking powder
- 1 tablespoon – mirin
- 1 cup (240ml) – soymilk
- 1 can – sweet red bean paste (anko) https://amzn.to/3a7x4jm
Equipment:
- Your best non-stick pan, see notes
- 2 mixing bowls
- A ladle or small measuring cup
Instructions
- In a bowl, sift together the flour and baking powder.
- In a separate bowl, combine the agave, mirin, and soymilk. Then whisk together the wet ingredients with the dry ingredients. You are looking for a loose batter.
- Pre-heat a large non-stick skillet on low heat for 5 minutes. With a ladle pour out about 3 tablespoons of batter onto the pan. Cook until you start seeing bubbles at the top and the bottom is nicely browned. Flip and cook the other side for 30 seconds to 1 minute. Continue to cook the rest of the pancakes, you should get about 8 pancakes in total.
We are cooking these low and slow, do not try to rush this by increasing the heat. Mine took about 2 minutes before I flipped it over, this will vary depending on the heat of your stove top. Just keep an eye on it. - Once the pancakes are cooked and cooled, spread the sweet red bean paste over one pancake. Then take another pancake and sandwich them together. Continue this for the rest of the pancakes. You can store these in a tightly sealed container and in the refrigerator if not eating it right away. Serve and enjoy!
Notes
- I used a Teflon pan and I didn’t have to use any oil to cook these. I tried using oil to coat the pan, however I found that it didn’t give me that nice smooth and golden brown top. If you don’t have a good non -stick pan, you can take a paper towel and dip it in some oil. Coat the surface of the pan with a little oil, and then make sure to wipe off all excess oil. It sounds counter intuitive, but you want to make sure you don’t leave oil streaks on the pan. The pancakes will be spotty unfortunately.

Can i Switch soy milk to Almond or Oat Milk? Or ist soy milk important forgood Resultat? ????
I prefer using soy milk because it has a higher protein content, but I think there shouldn’t be a problem if you use oat or almond milk!
