Matcha Dorayaki is a version of the popular Japanese sweet Dorayaki with Anko sweet red bean paste sandwiched between fluffy matcha-flavored pancakes. The harmony of sweetness of the red beans and the slight bitterness from Matcha works very well. If you like Matcha flavor, you have to try it! You can make homemade Anko yourself from our library. Or you may opt to buy prepared Anko from Japanese markets, which is fine too. Because the pancakes contain more sugar than regular American pancakes, cook a small number at a time to be able to handle better without burning them. Have Matcha Dorayaki at a calming teatime for one, or share this delicious dessert with friends and family. Hope you like it!
