means A Japanese sweet made of two small, fluffy pancake-like rounds sandwiching a filling of sweet red bean paste.

from The name likely ties to 'dora,' the Japanese word for gong, from a popular (if unproven) story that the dessert was first cooked on the flat surface of a gong-shaped pan or even left behind — as legend has it — by a samurai who forgot his gong at a farmer's house. More soberly, etymologists simply note the dora-gong link to the pancake's round, metallic-sheened shape, while 'yaki' is the common Japanese suffix for grilled or pan-fried foods, the same one you see in teriyaki and okonomiyaki.
