Steps

1
Whisk the eggs, sugar and honey until pale and foamy.
2
Sift in the flour and baking powder, mix until smooth and let the batter rest.
3
Stir in the water to loosen it to a thick pancake batter.
4
Wipe a non-stick pan with oiled paper and heat over medium-low. Pour 3 tbsp of batter into a 9 cm circle, cook until bubbles appear, flip and cook a few seconds more.
5
Keep the cooked pancakes under a clean cloth so they stay soft.
6
Spread anko on one pancake, cover with another and press the edges. Wrap in cling film to set the shape.

Tips and questions

Where can I find anko?: Asian supermarkets sell it in tins or pouches. You can also make it by simmering azuki beans with sugar until thick.
How do I get an even golden colour?: Use low-medium heat and wipe the pan with only a trace of oil. Too much oil leaves spotty, uneven pancakes.
Can I use other fillings?: Yes, custard, whipped cream with matcha or chocolate spread are popular in Japan too.
