How to cook hotteok for 3-4 people

Step 1: Preliminary processing of hotteok cakes

- Black sesame you roast.

- Nuts: chestnuts, peanuts, almonds, walnuts, you peel and crush them.

- The fresh milk you warm up and let the milk cool down when you feel warm is okay.

Step 2: Steps to make hotteok.

- You brew the dough as follows: you take a large bowl, you give: flour, glutinous rice flour, 2 teaspoons of sugar, 1 teaspoon of salt, yeast and sesame we just roasted. You guys mix it all up.

- After that, you add warm milk with 1 teaspoon of cooking oil. You stir the dough evenly when the dough is sticky, the ingredients are evenly blended together, you use plastic to cover the bowl, cover the bowl, and incubate the dough for 30 minutes.

- After 30 minutes, the dough swells up, you use a spoon or hand to press the dough to flatten and we incubate for another 10-15 minutes.

- While waiting for the dough, we will make the filling:

- You mix the following ingredients: 1 teaspoon of cinnamon powder, crushed nuts and brown sugar. You just add a little more water to multiply it together. You use a spoon to mix well. (Please note that the kernel cannot be crushed, but only a little bit is fine so that we can make it easier to make the cake)

- When the dough has even hatched, let's start making the cake. You rub a little oil or dry powder on your hands or plastic gloves to avoid sticking when squeezing cake.

- You take a little flour, press flat to enlarge the dough, you scoop a little of the filling in the middle and then squeeze it.

- You take turns to do so until the dough is gone.

- After molding the cake, you put a pan on the stove, add oil to heat.

- You drop the cake into the pan, use a large spoon to press slowly to flatten the cake, pay attention not to forcefully so that the cake does not break.

- You fry the cake until both sides are golden, then take out the cake to drain the oil, soak the cake again in the paper so that the cake is out of oil.

- You can display it on a decorative plate you like.

Note when making hotteok

- If you cannot buy Tai Ky sticky rice powder, you can make your own by soaking sticky rice for 2-3 hours and then crushing it.

- The nuts we use here are not fixed that you can replace as you like, like adding cashew nuts.

- You can use butter to fry the cake so the cake is much more delicious.

- The cake has a crunchy outer shell, cinnamon aroma, the filling is crispy, the aroma of nuts, the sweetness of brown sugar all blends in harmony with each other to create its own brand of hotteok without any type OK.

- Cake is easy to eat, especially loved by children. The women who can have cake for breakfast are also very suitable.
