Dorayaki

Please answer me in 3 seconds:  What is Doraemon's favorite food? 1... 2... 3...  I think most of u know the answer, it is dorayaki!

I remember buying it for little girl when she was a toddler, she disliked it due to the anko (sweet red bean paste).  However, I decided to give it a try again, but change the filling to what little girl likes now, peanut butter and nutella.

I checked out few sites, but at last I decided on Carol's and Shizouka Gourmet's recipe.
