Hotteok (호떡/Sweet Korean Pancake) for my Sweet Tooth
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.
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 and let it rise for 3 hours.
5. Prepare the filling while waiting for the dough to rise. Just mix the brown and white sugar with cinnamon powder and peanuts.
6. After 3 hours, knead the dough. Sprinkle flour on the dough from time to time while kneading to avoid it from sticking in your hands.
With this recipe, you can make about 15-18 pieces of Hotteok.
8. In a non-stick pan over low heat, place the Hotteok dough and fry one side for about 30 seconds. Flip the dough, flatten it and cook for about a minute. When that side becomes golden brown,flip it again and cook until the other side become golden brown as well.
9. Enjoy your homemade Hotteok!

| Make sure the water is warm and not hot. If it's hot, the yeast will not grow. |
3. Add milk and the yeast mixture to the flour. Mix until well blended.
 |
| After 3 hours, your dough will double its size |
7. After kneading,put some oil (or flour) into your palms and grab a handful of dough. Flatten the dough, put a spoonful of the filling and seal the dough.

| It's hard to make equal sizes of Hotteok. Haha! |
8. In a non-stick pan over low heat, place the Hotteok dough and fry one side for about 30 seconds. Flip the dough, flatten it and cook for about a minute. When that side becomes golden brown,flip it again and cook until the other side become golden brown as well.

| It does look like Piaya, right? |
Special thanks to my father for helping me make my very first Hotteok. He's the one who fried all of it and he also helped me making the Hotteok balls.
