All you should know about "Dorayaki"

The Origin of Dorayaki: The General’s Gift of a Copper Gong. In the Edo Period, a general gifted a copper gong from his troops to a benefactor. The benefactor was poor and used the gong as a frying pan to make snacks. By accident, he created these delicious round treats that looked like gongs, and that’s how they got the name “Dorayaki.” Shape and Texture: Dorayaki is named for its gong-like shape. It’s usually two round, soft pancakes stuck together. They’re fluffy and smell like honey and eggs. The pancakes are cooked just right—neither too dry nor too soggy. Fillings: The traditional filling is red bean paste, but there are also creative flavors like cream, chocolate, strawberry, and matcha. #Food knowledge #Asian cuisine #Desserts
