Make Your Own Taiyaki!!!



Taiyaki is a sweet delectable Japanese street dessert that not only tastes good, but also looks cute and delicious! And in today's blog entry you will learn how to make your own taiyaki in a couple of easy steps.

Ingredients
  • 1 1/4 cup Flour
  • 1/2 cup Sugar
  • 2 tsp. Baking Powder
  • 2 1/2 Tbs. Cornstarch
  • 3 Tbs. Water
  • 3 Large Eggs, room temperature
  • 2 Tbs. Honey (optional)
  • 1 1/2 Cup Anko (red bean paste), room temperature

    Tools needed
  • Whisk
  • Bowl
  • Taiyaki mold
  • Stove
Directions!
Sift Flour, Baking Powder, and Cornstarch together then set them aside.
Beat the Eggs with Honey and Sugar till frothy and add it to the Flour mixture, then add water. Continue to whip until the texture is smooth.
Start pre heating the taiyaki mold and make sure that there is some oil on the surface so the bread doesn't stick to the pan. Pour in a small amount of batter to the preheated pan and then add a tablespoon of anko. Then add more batter to fill in the rest of the mold. Close and latch the pan.
Turn the heat to medium low and cook for about 30 seconds then turn the pan over. Heat it evenly for a minute and turn again and then repeat again. You will know when it's done when you can open the mold with ease and the color of the breading is golden brown, which is about 4 minutes. 
And now you know how to make your own delicious taiyaki for your friends and family, or even yourself!
