Steps

1

In a bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, rice flour, sugar, and baking powder until there are no lumps.
2

Add the water and mirin to the dry ingredients and mix well until smooth.
3

Add the egg and mix thoroughly.
4

Lightly oil the hot sandwich maker (oil not included in ingredient list).
5

Heat both sides of the sandwich maker separately, then pour the batter into each side until half full. Cook over low heat.
6

When bubbles start to form on the surface of the batter, add sweet red bean paste (anko) to one side.
7

If you have leftover batter, pour it over the anko. If not, use the still-soft part from the other side to cover the anko.
8

Close the sandwich maker, making sure the filling stays in place, and cook over low heat for 3 minutes on each side.
