Taiyaki is a traditional Japanese fish-shaped cake filled with sweet red bean paste. This recipe uses a smooth batter made from flour, sugar, baking powder, milk, water, and egg, enveloping a cylindrical roll of sweet red bean paste.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 240 g sweet red bean paste (An)
  • 1 cup plain flour
  • 1 ½ tablespoons sugar
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • ⅓ cup water
  • ⅓ cup milk
  • 1 large egg

Instructions

  1. Divide the sweet red bean paste into 6 portions of 40 g each. Shape each portion into a 10 cm long cylinder using cling wrap and set aside for later use.
  2. Sift the plain flour and baking powder together into a large mixing bowl and create a well in the center.
  3. In a separate bowl, lightly beat the egg before adding the milk and water. Mix thoroughly until the mixture is smooth.
  4. Pour the wet mixture into the well of the dry ingredients. Gently combine everything, being careful not to overmix to keep the batter light.
  5. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate the batter for about 30 minutes to allow it to rest, improving texture and consistency.
  6. Heat the taiyaki pan over low to medium heat, ensuring it is properly warmed before cooking.
  7. Pour approximately 2 tablespoons of batter onto the bottom side of the heated pan. Pour batter along the top edge so it dribbles down, ensuring full coverage.
  8. Place one prepared sweet red bean paste cylinder in the center of the batter on the pan, then pour about 2 more tablespoons of batter over the paste to cover it.
  9. Close the pan and cook over low heat, pressing the pan gently. Cook each side for 3 to 5 minutes until golden brown and crisp.
  10. Once cooked through on both sides, carefully remove the taiyaki from the pan. Repeat the process with the remaining batter and anko to make six taiyaki in total.

Notes

  • Serve warm for the best flavor.
  • Can be enjoyed as a snack or dessert.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container.
