(Chinese recipes, prepare authentic Chinese food now!)
This is the last of my red bean paste recipes.
Truth be told, I didn’t really have a recipe of my own so I referred to my Chinese cookbook “Yan Kit’s Classic Chinese Cookbook.” The recipe is pretty good, except one flaw. If you look at my pictures, you will notice that my pancakes were thick, really thick. A good pancake should be thin and comes with crispy skin, with ample filling of red bean paste…
Other than being thick-skinned, I think the recipe works just fine. I adapted the original recipe slightly so that the pancake batter is lighter.

you’ve inspired me to pick up red bean paste :D
Amy
Yum! I love these for dessert or breakfast. :) Your pancakes look delicious!

My impression of red bean pancakes not like this leh! Ya, maybe coz your pancake is very thick. And the texture is more crepe-like. Your pancake looks more like –Mi Chiam Kueh (hokkien)- pancake of those with peanut fillings, or even closer to those Japanese red bean 炭烧饼!

This looks like a lovely desert! What no more red bean recipes? :-(

I love red bean snacks. When I was little, my mom would give me red bean paste as a treat. Probably why I’m so big now…
I got a new lens for my XTi! (^_^)

Your pictures are so gorgeous, i am speechless. Red bean paste… I havent had it ever since I returned from China (almost 3 years ago)… Do you hapen to have a recipe for home-made red bean paste?
shahirah
You made red bean paste pancakes looks so sexy. im definitely using your red bean paste pancakes recipe next time i make this.
Begi
hello.i cn’t find red bean paste anywhere,where can i find it?
Kura
Something must be off with this recipe. Several tries and it’s just a big mess that is nothing like it should be. Following the recipe exactly resulted into a ball of pasty dough, and that’s after cooking. I had so looked forward to making these too.
Rasa Malaysia
What do you mean by pasty dough? It’s not easy to make this recipe and yes it will be messy because of the red bean paste. You should be able to use the flour mixture to make the pancake. Add water if it’s too thick.
Ernest
Add LOTS of water. I didn’t count as I was fixing it, but more like 2-3 tablespoons than 1/2. Comes out much nicer then.
Ee-Ching
I think 1/2 tablespoon of water is definitely not enough..the batter just ends up with a big blob ..can’t pour out into the pan. Sure its 1/2 tablespoon of water? I end up using about 1/2 a cup of water.
