Image
  너무   맛있어요...  진짜  맛있어요... It's very delicious... Really delicious... My love for sweet food and Korean food has led me to an idea of trying to make a very popular Korean street food called Hotteok.  It is like the Korean version of our Piaya. Hotteok  seems hard to make but it isn't. But let me warn you, patience is needed to make this sweet snack. INGREDIENTS: Dough: 1/2 c. warm water 1/2 Tbsp. yeast 1/2 Tbsp. sugar 3 c. flour 1 c. milk 1/2 Tbsp. salt Filling: 1/4 c. brown sugar 1/4 c. white sugar 1/2 tsp. cinnamon powder 2 1/2 Tbsp. peanuts,chopped PROCEDURE: 1. Make the yeast mixture. Mix warm water, yeast, and  sugar. Set aside for approximately 5 minutes to allow yeast to grow. Make sure the water is warm and not hot. If it's hot, the yeast will not grow. 2. While waiting for the yeast to grow, sift the flour and salt. 3. Add milk and the yeast mixture to the flour. Mix until well blended. 4. Cover the dough with a plastic or lid
