Yesterday was the Pancake Day in the UK. It is the day people make pancake in order to consume the ingredients in the fridge such as eggs and milk before Easter starts. So I tried making ‘Dorayaki’ Japanese Pancake and then … in somehow I failed. The pancake part did not come out well. I was hoping that I would be able to post a photo of beautifully baked Dorayaki pancake here but now I don’t have any photo. It could be because I used one of the brand new frying pan? I will take a revenge on making great Dorayaki sometime soon, but in the meantime I am going to show you the photos of my recent ‘Taiyaki’ fish shaped Bake instead.

Taiyaki with Shiratama Mochi Balls

These are the Taiyaki I made a few days ago for my teatime.

The filling was ‘Tsubu-an’ sweet Azuki (Red) bean paste. I had some ‘Shiratama’ Mochi balls left after making some for Momo Mochi Matcha Zenzai so used some inside of these Taiyaki bake.

I have posted the recipe how too make Taiyaki before. If you are interested please visit the page with the link.
