CHURROS:
Ingredients
1 c. water
6 tbsp. butter
2 tbsp. granulated sugar
1 tsp. pure vanilla extract
1 c. all-purpose flour
1 tsp. kosher salt
2 large eggs
Vegetable oil, for frying
Cinnamon sugar
Step 1
Make churros: In a large saucepan over medium heat, add water, butter, and sugar. Bring to a

Canele:
Ingredients:
470ml full-fat milk
50g good-quality French unsalted butter
½ vanilla pod, split lengthways and seeds scraped out
230g granulated sugar
1 medium egg and 2 medium egg yolks, beaten
50ml dark rum
120g plain flour
.
Method
STEP 1
Make the batter a day in advance. Put 160ml milk, the butter, the vanilla pod and seeds, and 20g
sugar in a medium saucepan and bring to a simmer over a medium heat. Remove from the heat
and let cool to about 38C or until lukewarm to the touch – too cool and the butter will congeal,
too hot and the eggs will start to cook.
STEP 2
Whisk in the egg mixture until incorporated, then mix in the rum and the rest of the milk.
STEP 3
Mix the flour, remaining sugar and 1/2 tsp salt together in a bowl. Whisk in the liquid in thirds,
scraping down the sides and bottom of the bowl between additions. Avoid over-whisking: too
many air bubbles will result in dry canelés. The batter should have the same consistency as
double cream.
STEP 4
Strain the batter through a sieve into an airtight container. Press clingfilm directly onto the
surface of the batter to prevent a skin from forming. Close the lid tightly and chill in the fridge
overnight to rest the batter.
STEP 5
Heat oven to 230C/210C fan/gas 8. Warm eight (or 16 if you have them) 5cm canelé moulds on
the middle shelf in the oven for 5-10 mins. This helps to give the canelés a crunchy, caramelised
exterior.
STEP 6
Brush the moulds with a thin layer of melted beeswax (too much will cause the mixture to spill
out during baking). Wring the clingfilm of any mixture that sticks to it, then gently mix to
recombine ingredients that may have settled overnight. Do not overmix, or you risk incorporating
too much air. The more uniform the batter, the better the final product.
STEP 7
Fill each mould with batter. Be sure to leave 0.5cm at the top – when the canelé bakes, it will rise
slightly and then sink, so it is important to account for this.
STEP 8
Put the moulds on a baking tray and bake on the middle shelf for 10-15 mins. Rotate the tray by
180 degrees, reduce oven temperature to 180C/160C fan/ gas 4 and bake for 30-35 mins. (Baking
time can vary depending on your oven.) Keep an eye on the canelés’ colour during the final mins
to avoid over- or under-baking. The bottom should be a deep maple syrup colour.
STEP 9
Remove the canelés from the oven, let sit for 10 mins, then turn the moulds upside down and
gently tap the base until the canelé drops out. Cool completely before serving.
Dorayaki Nutella:
Ingredients:
For Dorayaki Batter:
2 large eggs
1/2 cup sugar
1 tablespoon honey
1 cup all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 cup water
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Filling:
Nutella (as needed)
Instructions:
Prepare the Dorayaki Batter:
In a bowl, whisk together the eggs, sugar, and honey until well combined.
In a separate bowl, sift together the flour and baking powder.
Gradually add the flour mixture to the egg mixture, stirring continuously to avoid lumps.
Add water and vanilla extract to the batter, mixing until smooth.
Rest the Batter:
Cover the batter and let it rest for about 15-20 minutes. This allows the flour to absorb the liquid
and gives the pancakes a fluffier texture.
Cooking the Dorayaki:
Once the pancakes are cooked, spread a layer of Nutella on the surface of one pancake.
Place another pancake on top, creating a sandwich with Nutella in the middle.
Repeat this process for the remaining pancakes.
Serve:
Allow the Nutella-filled Dorayaki to cool slightly before serving. This is a delightful treat that
can be enjoyed as a snack or dessert
Taiyaki custard:
Ingredients:
For Taiyaki Batter:
1 cup all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon baking powder
2 tablespoons sugar
1 egg
1 cup milk
1 tablespoon melted butter
For Custard Filling:
1 cup whole milk
4 egg yolks
1/2 cup sugar
1/4 cup cornstarch
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions:
Prepare the Custard Filling:
In a saucepan, heat the milk over medium heat until it's warm but not boiling.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the egg yolks, sugar, and cornstarch until well combined.
Slowly pour the warm milk into the egg mixture, whisking continuously to avoid scrambling the
eggs.
Return the mixture to the saucepan and cook over medium heat, stirring constantly until it
thickens into a custard-like consistency.
Remove from heat, stir in the vanilla extract, and let the custard cool.
Prepare the Taiyaki Batter:
Preheat your Taiyaki pan or fish-shaped mold on medium heat and lightly grease the molds.
Pour a small amount of batter into each side of the mold, making sure to cover the entire surface.
Add a spoonful of the custard filling in the center of one side of the mold.
Close the mold and cook for a few minutes until the Taiyaki turns golden brown. Flip it halfway
through the cooking process to ensure even browning.
Serve:
Carefully remove the Taiyaki from the mold and let it cool slightly before serving.
Optional Garnish:
You can dust the Taiyaki with powdered sugar or drizzle chocolate or caramel sauce on top for
added sweetness

Dust a clean surface or a large piece of parchment paper with potato starch or cornstarch.
Transfer the cooked mochi onto the dusted surface.
While the mochi is still warm, divide it into small portions and flatten each portion into a round
disc.
Assemble the Matcha Mochi:
Place a small amount of the matcha-red bean paste filling in the center of each mochi disc.
Gather the edges of the mochi to encase the filling and pinch to seal, forming a ball or oval
shape.
Repeat this process for the remaining mochi portions.
Serve and Enjoy.
