Gather @all-purpose flour{160%g}, @egg{3}, @sweet red bean paste{300%g} and @vegetable oil{1%tsp}.

Whisk the eggs, @sugar{100%g} and @honey{2%tbsp} until pale and slightly thickened, about 2 minutes. ~{2%minutes}

Sift in the flour and @baking powder{1%tsp}, add the @water{60%ml}, and fold into a smooth, thick-but-pourable batter.

Rest the batter for 15 minutes — it hydrates and the pancakes brown more evenly. ~{15%minutes}

Heat a nonstick pan over medium-low and wipe it with oiled paper; the surface should look almost dry.

Ladle small rounds of batter and cook until bubbles pierce the surface, about 2 minutes, then flip for 1 minute more. Repeat for 12 pancakes. ~{3%minutes}

Sandwich a generous spoonful of red bean paste between pairs of pancakes, pressing the edges gently to seal.
