I made Taiyaki again.
This was my second time using my new Taiyaki pan, and I think my skills improved!

I wanted to color my “fish” pink, so I used raspberry powder (ground freeze-dried raspberries).
But apparently, it was turned blue due to an interaction with another ingredient in the batter, likely baking soda.
The blue actually was pretty cool, but it was not intended (lol).

Taiyaki is traditionally filled with sweet Azuki beans, but this time I decided to use different fillings.
This one is PB & J.
I used unsweetened creamy peanut butter and lingonberry jam.
The picture doesn’t do it justice, but it was delicious!
My new favorite for sure.

Apple compote, dry cranberries, and Shiso.
This was very good too.
Loved the chunky apples.

I enjoyed these Taiyaki with coffee.
