Back in my piano teaching days, I taught three children of a Korean family. It was at their hospitable home, I was introduced to the most authentic Korean food I will ever have. One memorable snack in particular was a fried dough pancake of some sort that was filled with brown sugar. I never knew what it was called until I stumbled upon this Korean cooking website about a month ago. This tasty traditional Korean snack is called Hotteok. Simply put, a yeast dough that was filled with brown sugar, pecans and cinnamon that was then fried. My daughter offered some helping hands in the process filling the dough.
The result: a deliciously crisped pancake with a warm soft dough filled with sweet brown sugar syrup and crunchy pecans. I actually took mine just one extra step and drizzled some honey over it.
If you want to try some Korean cooking in your kitchen, I urge you to watch some of the tutorials on the Maangchi website and try something out! Cheers to new recipes!
