from my last entry, we went to Spain and learn about delicious Churros. Today we go to Japan and have a taste of Dorayaki, the japanese pancake.
If you're a fan of the famous Japanese anime Doraemon, Dorayaki is doraemon's fave snack. ahhhh~ i'm sure your kids will love this snack...you could actually serve this for breakfast. its easy to make and taste good too!!!
Unlike any other regular conventional pancake, dorayaki is not to be eaten with butter and honey or golden syrup for that matter, but its actually to be eaten like toast. YES! like toast....you sandwich it with some fillings of your liking....well actually the japanese used red bean paste/ azuki bean paste but then it evolve to peanut butter filling, chocolate filling (i simply use peanut butter or nuttela bread spread as the filling) so i conclude that you can fill your dorayaki with any fillings that you like!!!
