Hotteok Recipe Without Yeast Recipes

SWEET PANCAKES WITH BROWN SUGAR SYRUP FILLING (HOTTEOK)

Steps:

• Place 1 cup of lukewarm water into a mixing bowl. Add white sugar, yeast, kosher salt, vegetable oil, and stir it well. Add 2 cups all purpose flour and mix it with a rice scoop, or by hand. Let the dough rise. It should sit with the lid closed at room temperature for 1 hour. After an hour the dough will rise to double its size. Knead it to remove the gas bubbles in the dough. Let it rise for another 10-20 minutes.
• Mix the turbinado sugar, cinnamon powder, and walnuts in a bowl.
• Knead the dough again to remove the gas bubbles. Place and spread about ½ cup flour on your cutting board. Put the dough on your cutting board and knead it. Make it into a lump, and cut it into 8 equal-sized balls. Take 1 dough ball, flatten it, put some filling in the center of the dough, and then seal it to make a ball. Repeat this 8 times to make 8 stuffed balls.
• Place 1 ball on the pan and let it cook for 30 seconds. When the bottom of the dough ball is light golden brown, turn it over and press the dough with a spatula to make a thin and wide circle (about the size of a CD). Let it cook about 1 minute until the bottom is golden brown. Turn it over again and turn down the heat very low. Place the lid on the pan and cook 1 more minute. The brown sugar filling mixture will be melted to syrup! Serve hot!

HOTTEOK (KOREAN SWEET PANCAKES) RECIPE BY TASTY

Steps:

• In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the dough hook, combine the warm water and yeast and let sit for 10 minutes, until foamy. Add the flour, 2 tablespoons grapeseed oil, and salt and mix on medium speed until the dough comes together in a ball, about 10 minutes. Cover the bowl with a kitchen towel or plastic wrap and let the dough rest at room temperature for 1½ hours, or until doubled in size.
• While the dough is rising, make the filling: In a small bowl, mix together the walnuts, maple syrup, turbinado sugar, salt, and vanilla.
• Divide the dough into 8 portions. Roll each piece into a ball, then flatten it into a 4-5-inch-wide disc. Scoop a heaping teaspoon of filling onto the center of each disc, then pinch the dough up and over the filling to encase and roll into a ball again.
• Heat 2 tablespoons of grapeseed oil in a medium nonstick or cast iron pan over medium-high heat. Once the oil is shimmering, place a dough ball in the pan and immediately flatten with a hotteok press or spatula into a 4-5-inch-wide disc, about ¼ inch thick. Continue to press down on the disc until the bottom is golden brown, about 2 minutes. Flip the hotteok and cook until the other side is golden brown, 2 minutes more. Repeat with the remaining hotteok, adding more oil to the pan as needed.
• Serve hot.
• Enjoy!
