A Summer of Pancakes: Sweet, Filled Pancakes from Japan and Korea
Taught by Jonathan Soma
Soma was born in the South, is what someone from the North would say. He co-founded the Brainery, is the sciencey half of Masters of Social Gastronomy, and plans on getting married to Waffle House. In his more droll moments he is a tragic sellout to higher ed as a professor of data journalism at Columbia University's journalism school.

This class is part of our A Summer of Pancakes series
No maple syrup? No problem! Let's learn to make some just-sweet-enough pancakes.
First up is dorayaki, adorably tiny Japanese pancakes with red bean paste sandwiched in between. We'll not only learn to whip up the pancakes but also learn to craft red bean paste from scratch.
Next we'll take on the Korean hotteok, a yeast-risen pancake that can be filled with ingredients as wide-ranging as cinnamon, walnuts or brown sugar. They're popular in winter, but for our Summer of Pancakes let's just call this "being prepared."
Bonus: make a stainless-steel branding iron to put your own personal mark on your pancakes!
Note: This will be a hands-on cooking class.
