Sweet Korean Pancakes

SERVES: 12

CHILL TIME: 15 Min

COOK TIME: 10 Min

Sweet Korean Pancakes ("hotteok") are a popular street food in South Korea, especially in the wintertime. While they can be filled with just about anything, they traditionally feature a sweet filling that includes cinnamon and nuts. From the homemade dough to the melts-in-your-mouth filling, you're going to love everything about these!

What You'll Need

2 3/4 cups all-purpose flour, divided
1 teaspoon baking soda
3/4 teaspoon salt
3 tablespoons granulated sugar, divided
1 cup milk
1/2 cup brown sugar
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 cup chopped walnuts
1/4 cup vegetable oil, divided

What to Do

In a large bowl, whisk 2-1/2 cups flour, baking soda, salt, and 1 tablespoon granulated sugar. Stir in milk and mix until smooth. Gradually add in remaining flour until dough is stiff. On a floured surface, gently knead until dough is smooth. Shape into a ball, cover with a clean dish towel and let rest for 15 minutes.
Meanwhile, in a small bowl, combine brown sugar, remaining 2 tablespoons granulated sugar, cinnamon, and walnuts; mix well. Divide the dough into 12 equal pieces. Using your fingers or a rolling pin, press the dough into a 3-inch circle. Place 1 tablespoon of cinnamon-sugar mixture into the center of dough, then bring up the sides and pinch them together to seal tightly.
Place on a flat surface and, using a rolling pin, gently roll out to about 1/4-inch thickness. Repeat with remaining dough.
In a large skillet over medium-low heat, heat oil until hot and cook hotteoks in batches 2 to 3 minutes per side or until golden brown. Serve hot.

I made these for dessert when I served Korean BBQ Beef. They complemented our meal beautifully. I was so excited when my pancakes came out looking just like they did on TV. They were wonderful! I think these would be good served for breakfast, too.

Sounds Great but will the Dough rise without Yields?
