Hotteok (Korean Sweet Pancakes)

My kiddos LOVE pancakes. They can eat pancakes for breakfast, lunch, snack, or dinner, and they are happy campers! Here are all the pancakes that I have made for the past many years.😋😋😋

This round, I try my hands on making Hotteok (sweet Korean pancakes with sugar and nuts filling). Yes, I'm still riding the Korean wave! Hehe!

Beksul Hotteok Mix (Sweet Korean Pancake Mix)

I bought this Beksul Hotteok Mix from Shin Korea on Shopee. Find out what else I bought from Shin Korea here. Hehe.

What's inside the Beksul Hotteok Mix box?

1 bag of Sweet Korean Pancake Mix (296g)

1 bag of dried jam mix (100g)

1 packet of dry yeast (4g)

Instructions:

(Make 8 pancakes)

1. Dissolve dry yeast in 180-200 ml lukewarm water.

2. After the dry yeast dissolves, add in pancake flour and mix well until a ball of sticky dough is formed.

3. Rub cooking oil on your hands to avoid the dough sticking to your hands. Divide the dough into 8 balls. Beware: The dough is really sticky!

4. Flatten a dough ball. Then, add a tablespoon of dried jam mix to the middle of the flattened dough. Seal the dough ball. Note: I did this like sealing a char siew pao.

5. Heat up a little bit of cooking oil in a frying pan. Place the pancake dough (sealed part down) to "lock" the pancake.

6. Pan-fry the dough until you see that the bottom starts to turn light brown. Then, turn the dough around and flatten it. Pan-fry until golden brown.
