Preparation of Chocolate Dorayaki
Melt the butter in a non-stick saucepan and then let it cool.
In a bowl, pour the egg, sugar, and melted cool butter and mix with a spoon until the mixture is frothy.
Add the water and blend it with the egg mixture, stirring for a few minutes.
Sift together flour and baking powder and add them to the liquid mixture, stirring quickly with the spoon until you get a thick but smooth mixture without lumps.
Heat a non-stick pan on low flame, when it’s hot, pour half a ladle of mixture, cook for 2-3 minutes, then flip with a cooking spatula and cook the other side for 2 minutes, then remove and place on a serving plate to cool, continue this way until the batter is finished (this quantity is enough for 8 dorayaki).
Once all the dorayaki are cooked and well cooled, fill 4 of them with Nutella (1 heaping tablespoon each) and cover them with the remaining 4 dorayaki, now all that’s left is to serve and enjoy these delicious treats!
TIPS
You can replace Nutella with your favorite jam or with dark chocolate cream or pistachio cream.
Before serving, you can sprinkle with powdered sugar on top.
