Dorayaki 銅鑼燒

I learnt that to make a good Dorayaki 銅鑼燒, one cannot over stir or over beat the batter.  This will ensure that the pancake is soft and moist.

Over beating the eggs will also make the pancake dry!

So today, I shall attempt this method.  I love coz it is easy to snack on.

Findings: This indeed yield a nice and moist dorayaki!  I made a big batch and froze the rest so that I can have it as snack anytime I want.

Definitely a keeper!
