Japanese Sweets Workshop Vol. 1 Dorayaki (Bean Paste Pancake)

Dorayaki is a traditional Japanese sweet that is made of azuki (red bean paste) sandwiched in between two small pancakes. As a common Japanese snack, dorayaki has a mildly sweet taste perfect for all ages!

Since sweet azuki paste takes quite a long time to make, we will be using ready-made red bean paste in this class. Each Japanese pancake is made of flour, egg, honey, sugar, mirin (Japanese seasoning) and baking soda. Several pancake fillings will be prepared and participants will be able to choose their own favorite filling! Participants will also be able to mark their dorayaki with a cute symbol. Everyone is invited to use their own artistic inspirations to create a one-of-a-kind design for their dorayaki.

Dorayaki go great as gifts for people who love sweets, and go very well with a cup of hot Japanese green tea too!
