Prepare the batter: In a large bowl, whisk together the sifted flour, sugar, and baking powder. In a separate bowl, lightly beat the egg, then whisk in the milk. Gradually pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, whisking continuously until a smooth, lump-free batter forms. The consistency should be similar to pancake batter.
â±ïž 5 minutes - 2
Preheat the taiyaki mold: Lightly grease the inside of both halves of your taiyaki mold with vegetable oil or melted butter. Place the mold over medium heat on a stovetop or follow the manufacturer's instructions for electric molds. Allow it to heat up for about 5 minutes until it's hot to the touch.
â±ïž 5 minutes - 3
Fill the mold: Pour about half of the batter into the bottom half of the heated taiyaki mold, ensuring it covers the fish shape. Spoon dollops of anko filling into the batter, leaving a small border around the edges. Carefully pour the remaining batter over the anko, filling the mold almost to the brim. Avoid overfilling.
â±ïž 5 minutes - 4
Cook the taiyaki: Close the taiyaki mold firmly. Cook for approximately 5-7 minutes per side, or until the taiyaki is a deep golden brown and cooked through. You should hear a gentle sizzle as it cooks. Carefully flip the mold to ensure even browning on both sides. The exterior should be crispy.
â±ïž 10-14 minutes - 5
Remove and serve: Carefully open the mold and gently remove the hot taiyaki. Repeat steps 3 and 4 with the remaining batter and anko until all the taiyaki are cooked. Serve immediately while warm and crispy.
â±ïž 1-2 minutes per piece
