Matcha Tea Dorayaki

After making the panna cotta, I saw the almost empty tin of the green tea powder and asked myself why I didn't use everything for my panna cotta. What else can I make out of that very little amount? Then my mind just went to work and remember dorayaki! This is as simple as it gets. I could just make a sandwich and I'm done with it. I halved my taiyaki recipe instead of the one I used when I made dorayaki for the first time. I was a bit worried I wouldn't get the matcha tea taste so I steeped two green tea bags in warm milk and used it for the batter when it cooled down.



Spread with the sweet read beans I made then topped with another pancake, it was so delicious. I didn't quite get the green tea color but the flavor is definitely there.
