Dorayaki

Just bought a book on dorayaki and just tried out one of the recipes. Cooked the redbean paste myself too. Next time need to cook it less sweet. Even though I cut down on a lot of the sugar I still find it too sweet for my liking. Sharing with you my dorayaki.

Ingredients:
Whole eggs 200g
Cake flour/top flour 240g
Castor sugar 60g
Honey 60g
Baking soda 3g )
Water 6g ) mix together
Corn oil 40g
Milk 15g
Some sugar syrup*

Methods:
1. Pour eggs into a mixing bowl. Whisk the eggs until well mix. Add in castor sugar and mixing in the same direction, whisk eggs until the colour is lighter and fluffy.

2. Add in honey and mix well. Then add in baking soda that was mixed with water and mix well. Add in sifted flour and using a spatula mix the flour into the egg mixture. Lastly add in the corn oil and mix well. Do not mix it for too long.

3. Cover the batter with clingwrap and let it rest for 30 mins in the fridge. After the resting time, use the milk to dilute the batter if it is too thick. (Note: I have added more milk than what the recipe says because my mixture was very thick. You have to use your own discretion when doing this.)

4. Oil a non-stick pan using some paper kitchen towel dub in oil. Heat pan up using low fire. Pour a spoonful of batter into the pan and make into a round shape. Let is cook until you see bubbles forming. Then turn the pancake over and fry for another 5 seconds.

5. Apply sugar syrup onto the hot pancake to prevent it from getting dry and hard. Add filling of your choice and sandwich it with another piece pancake.

* Sugar syrup - mix 100g of sugar with 100g of water and boil until sugar dissolve. Leave aside to cool. You can add 15g of honey into the sugar syrup and mix well. (Note: I did not add honey as I try not to make it too sweet.)

Ingredients for red bean paste:
Red beans 600g
Maltose 100g
Sugar 200g (Original recipe is 600g)
Salt 2g

Methods:
1. Soak red bean overnight. Discard water. Refill enough water to cover the red beans. Bring to boil over high heat. When it is boiling, add cold water to bring down the temperature to 50C. Continue to let it boil over high heat until it is really boiling. Turn off fire and sieve red beans and discard water. Fill enough water again and let it boil. Turn down to low heat and continue to boil until red beans can be pressed and is soft. Sieve and discard water.

2. In a pot or wok, add in sugar and maltose and cooked red beans. Use low heat to cook the red beans stirring from below up. Keep stirring until sugar melts and excrete water. Continue to stir and cook until red beans becomes dry. Add in salt and mix well.

3. Leave red bean paste in a shallow pan to let it cool down for later use.

(Note: I did not follow this recipe's method of cooking the red beans. Instead I cook the red beans the normal way I would cook my red beans by boiling until it becomes soft and drain it.)

Hi Lee,

I ever tried using 5 gram of baking soda for my pan cake. The result was bitter pan cake! Could you enlighten me on the possible cause of it?

Tks in advance!

Hugbear said...

Hi Amy,

Try dissolving the baking soda with some water before adding it in to allow easy and even distribution of the soda. Depending on the amount of flour use, you may not need to use all 5g of the soda if it gives a bitter taste.

Hello!

You said,

"mix 100g of sugar with 100g of sugar and boil until sugar dissolve"

Do you mean mix 100gm of sugar with 100gm of water... or?
O.O

Dorikaki always makes me so happy when I see it in the supermarket. I've been looking through your posts, you've cooked some of my favourite things ever, the pandan pancakes with the palm sugar and coconut, and mochi, and layered jelly... It makes me really happy to see all this stuff you've made so amazingly, with such attention to detail.

Hugbear said...

Hi Annaisjesus, nice to know you here. Have you tried any of the recipes yet?

Hi Hugbear

I tried making the Dorayaki last weekend, however it didnt turn out fluffy in texture.

I wonder if the liquid quantity be measured in cup/tlbsp rather than gram as it is hard to weigh them.

How should the batter texture like in order to get the soft fluffy result?

Thanks in advance for your advise.

Hugbear said...

Hi Anonymous, I will try to measure the liquid in tbsp for you. If you want a softer texture, you can actually increase the amount of milk a little. No need to follow exactly as what the recipe states. I will usually add or minus liquid according to the texture of the batter.

Hello,

I'm french ( sorry for my very bad english ... ).

I want to make Doriaky this week-end.

I have a question, cake flour = self raising flour ? or not ?

Thank you so much for your recipes and your answer.
