7 Things You Can Make With a Takoyaki Maker 

😅

I was just thinking here in the US I could buy a small box of jiffy corn muffins and put in this with a cut of hot dog it would be mini corn dog bites! Oh my! I have an abelskiver pan(it has smaller holes) which is s Danish treat. Little soft sweet pancake bites. A small town near me has a Danish Festival every year (in Michigan) I grew up eating them. I've thought about making takoyaki several times. I have everything but 🐙 octopus but I can get squid or 🍤 shrimp. My half Japanese brother in law told me to just pop a chunk of crab 🦀 meat in instead. But i had to buy bulldog sauce for on top-he and his mom have taught us so many fun things to make and I had the honor of teaching her to make spaghetti sauce from scratch and to can/jar it. And I passed my lasagna recipe to her. She moved to Texas and we all miss her.

@@Emeraldwitch30 I got the idea for this originally from a little cookbook from Solvang, all about Aebleskiver, and "Danish Days". Nobody here had ever heard of it! And of course it was before RU-vid. At first I felt funny about (say) cornbread and all, but here we see Japanese persons making PIZZA, so I guess all bets are off! SO, I say, forget about octopus and go for that beloved JIFFY mix! I don't think you'll regret it. Pro tip (I'm not the pro! I saw it on RU-vid) is to put the batter in a squeeze-bottle or other special dispensing gadget. If you look at the videos of Takoyaki street vendors one thing you see is that they are sloshing stuff all over the place, and I don't think you want to do that at home. Maybe this will become completely American, a little bit at a time. THEN ONE DAY you'll have a Japanese visitor, and the circle will be complete! Ah, I made some in an actual Aebleskiver pan, the balls were much bigger than Takoyaki and I thought it was easier to do. Used standard pancake mix with some sugar and seasonings like Cardamom... and put different kinds of jelly or chunks of guava paste inside. So... somehow I started in Japan, and ended up in Cuba? Or Florida, anyway. I AM WITHOUT QUESTION going to do that corndog thing, how can it not be great?

@@leonardpearlman4017 I actually have a pancake squeeze tube thingy. And a funnel cake pourer lol. My family find me the wildest kitchen gadgets lol Ive been craving onion rings for weeks but most of the places near me buy those frozen ones they just deep fry. Not as good so last night I did a deep fry dinner lol. Onion rings and mushrooms and eggplants. Hubby had a few slices of turkey breast for protein. But it sure hit the spot. But thats a lot of oil and my house smells like a dive bar lol

But Sanitchi and his oh pancakes for dinner is so American! Lol. Its one of my families favorites.

Pancake balls would be great. Where I live a restaurant has pancake balls, I tried them filled with pumpkin apple butter!

Look up recipes for "Poffertjes"! Those are Dutch small pancakes cooked in a similar pan but not rolled around as much so they are not ball-shaped. Not filled but served with sweet toppings.

@@FindecanorNotGmail "Do these contain any eggs glutin or dairy?" "That's all they're made of"

@@Jigglysaint sorry I'm addicted to bluey!

That was my first thought and that the two different pans would be pretty much interchangeable 😊

@@sandramays795 I think you want both! The Aebleskiver are a lot bigger. If they have jelly inside, you have almost a homemade jelly doughnut, which you can eat while it's still hot!

@@leonardpearlman4017 I’ll take the bigger one, please, with jelly! Yum 😋

You mean Daiso?

Thank you for the idea! Sounds tasty!

Good eye!! Chen Kenichi ❤️

I sure had to scroll down far to see if anyone else had noticed. Glad you did. He's the biggest star they've ever had on their channel! ;)

You dont realy have to have their permision to eat ANYTHING i mean to each his own and i bet you have something you hate that they like to soo its just fair!

No one I work with understands my interest in Asian culture and food. When ever I try talking to them about Tabieats or something different (and usually delicious) that I got from my local Asian supermarket. They don't get it. I say do what makes you happy and let them do them.

they don't sound like good friends! you could tell them that eating any animal is barbaric! lol

the dutch pancakes aren't called ebelskiver! i think that might be more scandinavian. the dutch ones are called poffertjes! you also need butter with them :^)) a takoyaki style pan would work great for poffertjes.

@@GrimreaperSaysHi My bad. Corrected!

I think I would have sealed the dumpling skin with the pizza fillings and rolled them around too tho but oofta! Little hot pizza bombs! Lol

@@Emeraldwitch30 😋👍😀🙏

I literally went on Amazon immediately lol

I went and priced some on Amazon, was like nah I don't need "another" questionable use(I am notorious for buying kitchen/cooking stuffs and not using them). I was then looking at recipes, came across this. NOW I am definitely getting one! Great way to portion out snacks/ meal bits/bites.
