Hotteok Sweet Pancakes are a delicious treat from South Korea, filled with a gooey mixture of brown sugar, nuts, and cinnamon.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/4 cup sugar
- 1 teaspoon instant yeast
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 3/4 cup warm water (about 110°F)
- 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 1/2 cup chopped walnuts (or peanuts)
- 1/4 cup raisins (optional)
- Butter or oil for frying
Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, sugar, instant yeast, and salt.
- Gradually add the warm water and vegetable oil, mixing until a dough forms.
- Knead the dough on a floured surface for about 5 minutes until smooth.
- Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover with a clean cloth, and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour or until doubled in size.
- While the dough is rising, prepare the filling by mixing the brown sugar, cinnamon, chopped walnuts, and raisins in a small bowl. Set aside.
- Once the dough has risen, punch it down and divide it into 8 equal pieces.
- Roll each piece into a ball and flatten it into a disc about 4 inches in diameter.
- Place a spoonful of the filling in the center of each disc.
- Carefully fold the edges over the filling to seal it, forming a ball again.
- Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and add a little butter or oil.
- Place the filled dough balls seam side down in the skillet.
- Cook for about 2-3 minutes until golden brown, then flip and flatten gently with a spatula.
- Cook for another 2-3 minutes until the other side is golden and the filling is melted.
- Repeat with the remaining dough balls.
- Serve warm, and enjoy the gooey, sweet filling!
Notes
- For a chocolate twist, add mini chocolate chips to the filling instead of nuts.
- Try using different nuts or seeds, such as almonds or sunflower seeds, for a unique flavor.
