Hoddeok @ Korean Sweet Pancake
Found this little sweet snack recently from some Korean food site. This is one of the Korean famous street food called Hoddeok or Hotteok meaning filled pancake if not mistaken. Correct me if it is not ! :o) It is a very thin fried pancake which is usually filled with ground nuts or sweet paste. Eventhough this is my first attempt. I am falling in love with it already.
Now, here's what I did.
Ingredients :
(A)
2 tspn yeast
80ml warm water
2 tbsp sugar
(B)
180ml warm milk (50% milk + 50% water)
1-3/4 cup all purpose flour
3/4 cup glutinous rice flour
1 tspn salt
a dash of sesame oil
For filling : 500gm red bean paste/lotus paste/mung bean paste/grind nuts
Method :
(1) combine ingredients (A) and set aside to rest for 15 mins.
(2) then stir together ingredients (B) & (A) till well mixed then set aside to rest for an hour or till double in size.
(3) once it's ready, punch and knead dough to release air till smooth.
(4) divide dough into 12 portions for bigger sizes or 15 portions for smaller sizes.
(5) wrap each dough with 25gm of fillings (L) and then seal nicely, set aside to rest for 15 mins.
(6) once it's ready, flatten each filled dough and pan fried them with just enough cooking oil till both sides turned golden brown.
(7) serve warm.
I like the additional of glutinous rice flour into the recipe. It gives the crust an extra crisp which is just amazing. I'm sure you guys will love it too.
