These pancake cakes are filled with sweet red bean paste! Let's cut one open and see what's inside.
Recipe background:
I wondered what would happen if I put sweet bean paste inside pancakes while cooking, so I tried making it this way!

Steps

1

In a bowl, combine the pancake mix, milk, and egg. Mix well.
2

Grease the muffin rings with shortening. Add a little oil to a skillet and use a paper towel to spread it evenly. Place the muffin rings in the skillet.
3

Set the heat to very low. Spoon the batter into the rings, filling each less than halfway (the batter will rise). Cover with a lid.
4

When bubbles start to appear on the surface, add the sweet red bean paste. Spoon more batter on top to cover the filling.
5

When the edges look set, carefully flip each cake with a spatula. Cover again. Test with a toothpick—if it comes out clean, they're done!
6

On a cutting board, run a toothpick around the inside edge of each ring to release the cakes. Add as much filling as you like. When you cut them open, they'll look like the photo.
7

Serve with butter and honey drizzled on top.
