Prepare the Batter:
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the Mochi Taiyaki mix, water, egg, and oil.
- Whisk together until the batter is smooth and free of lumps.
-
Preheat the Taiyaki Mold:
- Heat your Taiyaki pan to medium heat (around 180°C).
- Lightly oil the mold if necessary to avoid sticking.
-
Fill the Taiyaki Mold:
- Pour the batter into each side of the Taiyaki mold until halfway full.
- Optionally, add fillings like red bean paste, custard, or chocolate spread in the center of the batter.
-
Cook the Taiyaki:
- Close the mold and cook for 2-3 minutes per side, flipping halfway through.
- Cook until the Taiyaki are golden brown and have a slight crisp on the outside.
-
Serve:
- Remove the Taiyaki carefully and allow them to cool for a minute.
- Enjoy warm for the best texture.
Pro Tips:
- Fillings: For best results, leave a bit of batter around the edges when adding fillings to ensure proper sealing.
- Extra Crisp: If you prefer a crispier Taiyaki, reduce the water to 70g and cook each side for an extra minute.
- Storage and Reheating: Taiyaki is best fresh but can be stored in an airtight container for up to 1 day and reheated in a toaster oven for crispiness.
- Custard Mix: Use Mochi Foods Custard Mix to fill the inside, its our most popular flavor!
