How to make Hotteok ( Korean pancake)

Hi guys!

     Today I'm going to upload another recipe. This is one of my favorites food from Korea called Hotteok (almost all the recipes that I share is my favorite food, I'm sorry guys hehe). I think I really influenced by Korea especially their food. When I watched Korean variety show or maybe a drama I always see the actors or the comedian eats hotteok. They eat hotteok when they visited traditional market or when they stroll around the street, and the hotteok is always made by Ahjumma or Ahjussi. Ahjumma is old lady and ahjussi is old man. Every time they eat the hotteok, they never wait until the hotteok is cold and eat it while the hotteok still hot (recomended!). 

     Hotteok is street food made from flour-oil-water and it's has a many types of filling, then we fry and press it with a  tools that have a unique shapes so the roundy ball batter becoming thin. Crispy on the outside and fluffy soft on the inside. There's a lot filling for hotteok like brown sugar or chocolate or maybe kimchi! Sounds supersuper tasty right? :D

Ok, I'm craving this hotie crispy-soft hotteok when I write this blog...

In this recipe I will share to you how to make chocolate hotteok. Let's get started :)

Ingredients:

◇ 2 cups all purpose flour

◇ 2 tbsp sugar

◇ 1 tbsp oil

◇ 2 tsp dry yeast

◇ 1 tsp salt

◇ 1 cup warm water

◇ chocolate or brown sugar for the filling

Steps:

◇ First put the warm water into a bowl then mix it with dry yeast, sugar, salt and oil. Stir it until the yeast is activated.

◇ And then pour the flour into the yeast mixture. Mix them well.

◇ After we mix all the ingredients we need to close the bowl with lid or wraps until the dough rises. We need 1 hours in room temperature.

◇ One hour after the dough will doubled it size. We need to stir it so the gas came out.

◇ Prepare the filling into a small bowl.

◇ Cut the dough into 8 pieces or whatever you want, if you want it more small you can cut it into 10 or 12 batter. Then roll it so we can put the filling inside. And then stick the dough together like a balls.

◇ On the stove preheat the pan. And pour just a little amount of oil.

◇ Put the ball that we make into the pan. Wait a second then press it (I don't have that special press tools so I just press it with spatula) . Flip it an press again.

◇ Hotteok is ready to serve!♡
