Place a lid on and cook one side for one minute and 30 seconds or when you see bubbles start to form, flip it over with an egg flipper.
Cook the other side for about one minute.
Remove the cake off the heat and place it between the folded kitchen towel to avoid the cake becoming dry.
Keep making the cake until all batter is cooked.
When the cakes are cooled down, spread sweet azuki bean paste on one cake and sandwich with another cake and repeat it to make 8 Dorayaki
