Hotteok Recipe | Sweet Korean Pancakes

Step 1

Start by sifting the flour into a large bowl. Then, add the yeast, salt, sugar and milk. Mix into a dough and cover the bowl with a plastic wrap. Let it sit and rise at room temperature until the dough doubles in size.

Step 2

Once the hotteok dough rises, release the gas by punching it. Then, cover the bowl again and let it sit for another 20 minutes.

Step 3

Once the dough is ready, separate it into 6 medium-sized balls. Meanwhile, mix the filling ingredients until thoroughly combined.

Step 4

Flatten each ball in your hand and add a tablespoon of filling. Then, gather the corners to seal the filling.

Step 5

Preheat a frying pan to medium heat and add a little bit of cooking oil. Place the dough onto the pan and cook it on medium heat for 30 seconds or until the bottom side is slightly golden brown. Then, flip it over and press down with a press to flatten. Let it cook until it is golden brown.

Step 6

Flip the pancake once again and turn the heat down to low. Cover the pan with a lid and let it cook to melt the sugar filling. Then, transfer the pancake onto a plate and repeat the steps for the remaining sweet korean pancakes. Serve and enjoy!
