I made obanyaki (Japanese sweet pancake sandwiches) this morning. Last night, I prepared homemade chunky sweet bean paste using white kidney beans. Everything is made from scratch!
My aunt is coming over, so these are for our snack.

Recipe background:
I saw obanyaki being made on YouTube and wanted to try making them myself. I searched for an obanyaki pan on Amazon and decided to buy this one that makes six at a time. I tried different recipes and adjusted the ingredients until I found the tastiest combination.

Steps

1

These are the ingredients for the obanyaki batter.
2

Add all the ingredients to a bowl and whisk well.
3

Mix thoroughly until no dry flour remains.
4

Place the obanyaki pan on the stovetop and preheat it. Once hot, lightly oil the molds.
5

Pour batter into three of the six molds, filling them about halfway. Add a spoonful of sweet bean paste on top of the batter in each. Pour a thin layer of batter into the remaining three molds.
6

Carefully flip the molds with the bean paste onto the ones with just batter to sandwich them together.
7

Repeat this process five times to make a total of 15 obanyaki.
8

Cut one open to show the sweet bean paste filling inside.
