3. 3

   Add the milk and vegetable oil to the beaten egg and whisk until well combined.

5. 5

   Cover the batter bowl with plastic wrap and let it rest at room temperature for at least 10 minutes.

   Pour a little more batter over the red bean paste to cover it completely.

   Uns 1 min

10. 10

    Close the taiyaki pan and cook for 2-3 minutes on one side until golden brown.

    Uns 3 min

    Nota de cuina: Adjust heat as needed to prevent burning.

11. 11

    Flip the pan and cook for another 2-3 minutes on the other side until golden brown and cooked through.
