Hotteok

Recipe View In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, yeast, and 2 teaspoons of white sugar. (Prep time: 5 minutes)

Recipe View In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the milk and water. Heat in the microwave until lukewarm (about 20 seconds). Gradually pour the warm milk mixture into the flour mixture, stirring with a fork until a shaggy dough forms. (Prep time: 5 minutes)

Recipe View Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead for about 2 minutes. The dough will be sticky at this stage. Add the salt and continue to knead until the dough becomes smoother and more elastic, approximately 2 minutes more. (Prep time: 5 minutes)

Recipe View Shape the dough into a ball, place it in a lightly floured bowl, cover with a damp paper towel, and let it rise in a warm place for 10 minutes. (Rise time: 10 minutes)

Recipe View In a resealable plastic bag or a bowl, combine the brown sugar, 1/4 cup white sugar, chopped walnuts, ground sesame seeds, and cinnamon. Seal the bag and shake well to combine the filling ingredients evenly. (Prep time: 5 minutes)

Recipe View Gently roll the dough into a cylinder and divide it into 10 equal pieces. Shape each piece into a ball. (Prep time: 5 minutes)

Recipe View Using a rolling pin, roll each ball into a 5-inch circle. Hold the circle in the palm of your hand and spoon about 2 tablespoons of the filling into the center. Bring the edges of the dough up and around the filling, pinching them together to form a sealed ball. Place the filled balls seam-side down on a lightly floured surface. (Prep time: 15 minutes)

Recipe View Gently roll each filled ball into a 5-inch circle, being careful not to let the filling escape. (Prep time: 5 minutes)

Recipe View Melt the margarine in a skillet over medium heat, spreading it evenly. Place the rolled Hotteok in the skillet and cook until golden brown, about 5-10 minutes per side. Serve hot and enjoy! (Cook time: 10-20 minutes)
