Gingerbread Pancake

Gingerbread pancake is different from crepe. It is an American style thick pancake usually served for breakfast, while crepe is thinner and does not use any rising agents. In Japan, it is called dorayaki, which is supposed to be the favourite of Doraemon, a cartoon character who is loved by all children. Dorayaki, however, has a jam filling inside it. My children are nuts about this pancake and normally one is not enough!
