Servings: 4 pancakes
Ingredients
For the dough
- 120 g flour
- 30 g glutenous rice flour
- 2 tsp baking powder
- 100 ml milk
- 1 tbsp white sugar
- pinch of salt
For the filling
- 2 tsp brown sugar
- 1 tsp cinnamon
Instructions
- Prepare dough: Combine all dry ingredients for the dough and mix them. Then add the milk and knead the dough until fully combined. The dough will be fairly thick and slightly stretchy.
- Combine the filling: In a small bowl, combine brown sugar and cinnamon.
- Shape your Hotteok: Divide the dough into 4 equal parts. Take one piece and create a pocket inside. Scoop 2 tsp of the sugar-cinnamon mix inside. Now gently close it and flatten it to about a 1 cm thick pancake.Tip: It's easiest to fold if you create a pocket with your hand and lay the dough inside so the sugar mix doesn't fall out.
- Fry until crispy: Heat a non-stick pan to medium heat and add some oil. Fry the pancakes for about 2 minutes on each side until golden. Enjoy!
