Childhood fun - Dorayaki

Overview

The cartoons I watched when I was young were Tom and Jerry and Doraemon. I always felt that Nobita was similar to me, both were so lazy and loved to get into trouble. In my impression, they always had afternoon tea, and every time they saw red bean paste buns, Doraemon and Nobita would fight over them. At that time, I thought it was just created in a cartoon and did not exist in reality, but haha, I finally tasted it now, soft and sweet Dorayaki, golden in color, very attractive! When I was a child, I didn’t have much entertainment or snacks. The most I did was watch TV and drool over the red bean paste buns inside, but I couldn’t eat T^T. I hope this low-cost dorayaki can satisfy the little wishes of children in mountainous areas and bring fun to their childhood. Children in mountainous areas are like me. Their families are not rich and they have no money to buy candies and snacks. But I am happier than them, being able to taste such delicious Dorayaki, and I hope to share this happiness with them. Children in mountainous areas generally rarely eat meat and lack protein, which can easily lead to malnutrition. Therefore, eggs and milk are used in this Dorayaki to help them increase protein absorption, allowing them to grow healthily and prevent osteoporosis and delayed growth. Moreover, Dorayaki is sweet and very suitable for children to eat. I hope they will like it! Many people say that it is easy to encounter the problem of uneven coloring when making Dorayaki. The following is a summary of my experience in Dorayaki that I have made several times. I hope it will be helpful to everyone.
