Eat like oppa/noona - Hotteok

[benihime99.livejournal.com]

Hotteok, usually defined as sweet korean pancakes, are one of the most popular street snacks in Korea, especially during winter.
It’s very tasty and very easy to make.


WHAT DO WE NEED:
Dough:

• 250 gr Flour


• 50gr sugar


• 175 ml Water/milk/soy milk


• 1 pack of yeast

Filling:

• 2 tbs Brown sugar


• 1 tbs Cinnamon powder


• 2 tbs chopped walnuts


• Honey: 1 tbs (optional)

Cooking oil

I’ve also made some using red paste bean (from the previous post) and a sweet potato filling; but the “traditional” filling is my favorite.


HOW TO :

Dough:
Pour the water into a bowl. Add the sugar and yeast, stir well.
Add the flour and mix it with a spatula, or by hand. (Spatula is the way to go if you don’t want it to be too messy).
Let the dough rise (at least 1 hour).

Filling:
Pretty simple, mix all the ingredients together.
See, it was easy

Shape and cook your Hotteok:
Divide dough into desired number of Hotteoks, a ball shape would be the best. The dough will be a little sticky, so you might need some flour.
Flatten the dough ball, put some filling in the center, and then seal it.
Heat up the pan over medium heat, add oil.
Place your hotteok on the pan (sealed side down) and let it cook for 30 seconds.Turn it over and press the dough with a spatula.
Cook 3 minutes on each side.

EAT.

It tastes the best right away. I kept some for today’s breakfast and although they were still tasty, the texture wasn't as good.

Feel free to post some of your recipe :3

[rennehollic.livejournal.com]

[yakuniku-8.livejournal.com]

aaah I always wondered how to put the filling inside because I imagined it liquid like a pancakes paste. good to know, I'm gonna try!
btw OP i love your teapot and bowl

[benihime99.livejournal.com]

Thank you
it's from Nature et Découverte I think

[the-erotomanic.livejournal.com]

sugar fillings are always good, imo. hehe!

and i want to try making these using muscovado instead of brown sugar.

[smile-as-a-noun.livejournal.com]

I make these all the time and they're so delicious, do yourself a favor and give it a try.

[sourspray.livejournal.com]

[cotxpaxi.livejournal.com]

yumm. i always burned my mouth or the filling ended up on my clothes. i miss them tho, i need to find some gluten free versions

[benihime99.livejournal.com]

One of the recipe used rice flour ^^

[asnindie.livejournal.com]

Thanks for the post op. I'll probably make these next week. This week i made crepes with nutella.

[the-erotomanic.livejournal.com]

did you put bananas in your crepe?

[luvey.livejournal.com]

yes!! i don't know why (maybe cause it's a pancake like substance) i've always been drawn to these even if i never ate one. i need one in my belly.

I HAVE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS POST.

though I'm probably not going to be able to make this anytime soon, thank you! It gives me an idea on the difficulty level scale for cooking.

Omg the Japanese restaurant I work at uses similar teapots lol

[angela-derp-otp.livejournal.com]

I love making these!

these taste great filled with cheese (cheddar or mozzarella are the best for this) or red bean paste.

[benihime99.livejournal.com]

I want to try with cheese

[goshipgurl.livejournal.com]

man they look so delicious :Q________
i really wanna try these but i dont have yeast and im too lazy to go to the supermarket. can i also make them without yeast? i usually dont use yeast when i make pancakes.
and can i use white sugar instead of brown sugar?

OT but i always wondered how hygienic those street food stalls in korea are..?

[dreamerbri.livejournal.com]

they're more like flat filled buns rather than pancakes so you need the yeast. white sugar should work.

[pigmi.livejournal.com]

my mother used to make these for my siblings and i when we were younger, and the amount of burnt tongues received from biting into molten brown sugar were a strong lesson in patience LMFAO.

wait for these little bastards to cool. > ___ >

Sweet potato filling? Mmmmm, I love sweet potatoes!

Love, love, love this post ♥ Thank you so much! The picture is gorgeous, it makes me want to sit down and have a snack, but I shouldn't because I'm escaping from finishing a paper as it is *cries*.

I thought I was going to have time over Spring Break to do some adventurous cooking but all I ended up doing was...more coursework >.< Please keep inspiring me, I have a month between spring and summer classes so I will just spend a couple of days making all these yummies. These will definitely be at the top of my list. I'm there if it's pancakey and sweet ♥

[benihime99.livejournal.com]

Fighting!!!

[toshi830.livejournal.com]

mmmm these sound pretty good, it sounds kind of like korea's pandan waffles

[djlancerock.livejournal.com]

I got this at a shop in ktown and when I bit into it it exploded and came all over me

[magicpineapple.livejournal.com]

i never realized the little pancakes i used to make were rooted in korean cuisine, that's pretty awesome. now i know that i have a name besides "filled pancakes," i'm going to try sweet red beans, then maybe a recipe w/ kimchi & some meat/veggies finely chopped up... so many ideas! thanks op!! <3
