Imagawayaki

Imagawayaki is a popular Japanese street food made with a sweet pancake-like batter filled with sweet red bean paste.

Ingredients - Serves 6

In a mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the milk and egg.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and whisk until well combined.
Heat an imagawayaki pan or a non-stick skillet over medium heat.
Grease the pan with a little oil or butter.
Pour about 1/4 cup of the batter into each mold or onto the skillet.
Place a spoonful of red bean paste in the center of each pancake.
Cover the red bean paste with a little more batter.
Cook for about 2-3 minutes, or until the bottom is golden brown.
Flip the imagawayaki and cook for another 2-3 minutes, or until the other side is golden brown.
Remove from the pan and repeat with the remaining batter and red bean paste.
Serve warm and enjoy!
