"This Japanese treat loved by children and adults alike is easy once you get a fish iron. It will work with any of your favorite pancake or waffle recipes. I like to put apple, raisins and nuts into mine and they taste even better the next day plain because of the moisture of the apple and raisins. You can also try your own variations."
