Dorayaki - A Sweet Delight from Japan
Dorayaki, a beloved Japanese dessert, is a delightful treat that consists of two fluffy pancakes sandwiched together with a sweet filling, typically red bean paste called "anko." This iconic confection has captured the hearts of many with its irresistible combination of soft pancakes and luscious filling.
Dorayaki holds a special place in Japanese culture, often associated with traditional sweets and cherished childhood memories. The name "Dorayaki" is said to have originated from the Japanese word "dora," which means gong, as the shape of the pancakes resembles the round shape of a gong.
To guide you in savoring Dorayaki, here are a few tips:
1. Seek out fresh Dorayaki from a reputable bakery or make it at home using the recipe we'll share below.
2. Observe the pancakes' texture - they should be soft, fluffy, and slightly golden in color.
3. Take a moment to appreciate the aroma of the pancakes and the enticing sweetness of the anko filling.
4. With your first bite, experience the contrast of textures as the light and airy pancakes merge with the rich and velvety anko.
5. Savor each bite, allowing the flavors to meld together, creating a harmonious balance of sweetness.
Now, if you're eager to recreate the deliciousness of Dorayaki in your own kitchen, here's a simple recipe to get you started:
Ingredients for the pancakes:
- 2 eggs
- 100g granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 tablespoon water
- 200g all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
- 120ml milk
Ingredients for the anko filling:
- 200g sweetened red bean paste (anko)
Instructions:
1. In a mixing bowl, beat the eggs and sugar together until well combined.
2. Add the honey, baking soda, and water to the egg mixture. Mix well.
3. Gradually add the flour, stirring gently until no lumps remain.
4. Add the vegetable oil and milk to the batter, mixing until smooth and well incorporated.
5. Heat a non-stick frying pan or griddle over medium heat. Grease it lightly with vegetable oil.
6. Pour a small amount of batter onto the pan to form small, round pancakes. Cook until bubbles start to form on the surface, then flip and cook the other side until golden brown.
7. Transfer the cooked pancakes to a plate and cover with a damp cloth to keep them moist and soft.
8. To assemble the Dorayaki, take one pancake and spread a generous amount of sweetened red bean paste (anko) onto the center. Place another pancake on top, pressing gently to seal.
9. Repeat the process with the remaining pancakes and anko filling.
10. Once assembled, let the Dorayaki sit for a few minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.
Now you have freshly made Dorayaki ready to enjoy!
حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ يُوسُفٍَ، قَالَ: أَخْبَرَنَا مَالِكٌٍ، عَنْ هِشَامِ بْنِ عُرْوَةٍَ، عَنْ أَبِيهٍِ، عَنْ عَائِشَةٍَأُمِّ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهَا، أَنَّ الْحَارِثَ بْنَ هِشَامٍ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ سَأَل رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، فَقَالَ: يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ، كَيْفَ يَأْتِيكَ الْوَحْيُ؟ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: "أَحْيَانًا يَأْتِينِي مِثْلَ صَلْصَلَةِ الْجَرَسِ، وَهُوَ أَشَدُّهُ عَلَيَّ فَيُفْصَمُ عَنِّي، وَقَدْ وَعَيْتُ عَنْهُ مَا قَالَ، وَأَحْيَانًا يَتَمَثَّلُ لِي الْمَلَكُ رَجُلًا فَيُكَلِّمُنِي فَأَعِي مَا يَقُولُ"، قَالَتْ عَائِشَةُ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهَا: وَلَقَدْ رَأَيْتُهُ يَنْزِلُ عَلَيْهِ الْوَحْيُ فِي الْيَوْمِ الشَّدِيدِ الْبَرْدِ فَيَفْصِمُ عَنْهُ، وَإِنَّ جَبِينَهُ لَيَتَفَصَّدُ عَرَقًا.
SAHIH HADITH:
Narrated 'Aisha: (the mother of the faithful believers) Al-Harith bin Hisham asked Allah's Apostle O Allah's Apostle! How is the Divine Inspiration revealed to you? Allah's Apostle replied, Sometimes it is (revealed) like the ringing of a bell, this form of Inspiration is the hardest of all and then this state passes off after I have grasped what is inspired. Sometimes the Angel comes in the form of a man and talks to me and I grasp whatever he says. 'Aisha added: Verily I saw the Prophet being inspired divinely on a very cold day and noticed the sweat dropping from his forehead (as the Inspiration was over).
