Taiyaki Two--for Sexkitten--do it yourself! WITH NUTELLA!!

[binaryalchemist]

Every tried to make it at home? Here's how to do it--
The taiyaki pans are about $8 in asian stores/markets but a bit more online. I got mine at Super H Mart in Atlanta.
She's using Bisquick shake-n-pour--I use waffle mix--Belgian if I can get it--and it works better with a slightly thinner batter--hers is too thick.
She's also glopping in waaay too much filling--I like the cheese idea, tho'. A little less filling works best.
Gas stoves work best of all--I have a ceramic cook top and that does not lend itself to good Taiyaki---so I use either the gas burner on the grill or a little single-burner that I keep with my camping gear. I am interested in trying it ON the grill itself, although the handles could melt if you aren't careful...

I've discovered if you have a military base nearby you'll likely have Asian stores--and we have lots around here. Anko isn't a taste I can quite describe--but if you cant get it you could use strawberry jam. Some people like it--some don't and not all anko is created equally--some is fabulous and some sucks. I tend to like the smoother, softer anko. I was grossed out originally by the idea of sweet beans but it grows on you.
