Steps

1

In a bowl, combine the sugar, honey, salt, and egg. Mix well.
2

Add the water and shiratamako. Let sit for about 20 minutes, then mix well once the shiratamako has softened.
3

Sift together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and baking soda. Gradually add to the bowl, alternating with the milk, and mix until smooth.
4

Once the batter is combined, add the vegetable oil and mix well. Let the batter rest in the refrigerator for about 1 hour.
5

Divide the sweet red bean paste into 8 portions (about 50g each) and shape each into a long oval.
6

Lightly oil a taiyaki maker and heat over low heat. Pour 1 tablespoon of batter into one side of the mold.
7

Rotate the mold to spread the batter evenly and cook until the batter is set but not fully cooked through.
8

Heat the other side of the mold and pour 1 tablespoon of batter into it.
9

Gently spread the batter, then place a portion of red bean paste on top.
10

Pour another tablespoon of batter over the red bean paste to cover it, close the mold, and cook.
11

Cook over low heat for 3–5 minutes on each side.
12

Done! Cook slowly over low heat until golden and fragrant, and enjoy the taiyaki while they're hot and fresh.
13

You can also fill these with custard cream, ham, or cheese instead of red bean paste for a delicious variation.
