      Taiyaki are basically just pancake batter filled with whatever. Traditionally red bean paste. This time I did red bean paste, chestnut paste and Nutella. I also really like filling them them a crème patissiere or yuzu curd if I have enough time/foresight to make it ahead. Because you cook them in the special mold, they get a nice crispy outside. People tend to have a preference for eating the head or the tail first. I personally like to go tail-first 😈

        Hmm interesting.

        I don’t know what red bean paste tastes like so it’s quite a bit of an unknown for me to imagine what it would be like.

        I wouldn’t mind filling one up with apple and cinnamon though.

        I would go tail first I think.
