Fluffy Rice Flour Dorayaki

This time, we’ve created a gluten-free dorayaki using rice flour, which has been gaining popularity. The result is a dorayaki with a light, pancake-like texture that’s easy to enjoy and not too sweet! For an extra treat, try adding red bean paste and butter to the freshly made dorayaki—it’s a delicious combination!

Ingredients

Whole egg：700g
Sweetened egg yolk (Kewpie Egg Corporation)：210g
Superfine sugar：420g
Honey：70g
Mirin：70g
Cake Doll emulsifier (MIYOSHI OIL & FAT CO., LTD.)：70g
Rice flour for baking：700g
Baking powde：28g
Water：56g

How to make the batter

Mix honey, mirin, and Cake Doll in a separate bowl first.

Mixing the honey, mirin, and Cake Doll first makes it easier to incorporate them into the batter.

Combine whole eggs and sweetened egg yolks in a mixer, then add superfine sugar and beat until smooth.
After mixing, add the honey, mirin, and Cake Doll from the separate bowl and continue mixing until everything is fully incorporated.

Beat the whole eggs and sweetened egg yolks, then add the superfine sugar and mix until smooth.

Add the pre-mixed honey, mirin, and Cake Doll to the egg mixture and blend well.

Add rice flour and baking powder to the mixture.
Do not sift the rice flour—just add it directly.

Pre-mixing the rice flour and baking powder ensures the baking powder is evenly distributed in the batter.

Start mixing gently so that the powdered ingredients do not become airborne.

Adjust the batter’s consistency by adding water before baking.
Rice flour absorbs less water than wheat flour, so be sure not to add too much.

The ideal viscosity is between 30-35 dPa/s, and this batch reached 31 dPa/s.
The target specific gravity is 0.85, and this batch measured 0.86.

How to cook the batter

Set the Tabletop Pancake Cooker to 180℃.
Apply oil (Bitakatto SL) on the copper cooking surface, then dispense the batter.
After 1 minute and 20 seconds, flip it over, and continue cooking for an additional 20 seconds (a total cooking time of 1 minute 50 seconds).

It cooks quickly, so keep an eye on the color and adjust the baking time as needed.
