Hotteok (Korean Sweet Pancakes)

Hotteok (Korean Sweet Pancakes)

Ingredients

– 180ml (¾ cup) milk
– 15g (1 tbsp) sugar
– 3g (1 tsp) active dry yeast
– 240g (2 cups) all-purpose flour
– 5g (1 tsp) salt
– 15ml (1 tbsp) peanut oil
– 40g (⅓ cup) walnuts, chopped
– 10g (1 tbsp) sesame seeds
– 50g (¼ cup) brown sugar
– 2g (1 tsp) ground cinnamon

Method

1. Pour the milk into a small container. If you’re in a cold environment, warm the milk slightly until it’s room temperature. For a hot environment, cold milk will suffice. Add the sugar and yeast, mix well, and set aside to activate.
2. In a mixing bowl, combine the flour, salt, and peanut oil. Stir the milk mixture again before pouring it into the bowl. Mix with a spoon until a loose ball of dough forms. Lightly knead the dough in the bowl, cover it with a tea towel, and let it prove for 1–1.5 hours, or until nearly doubled in size.
3. While the dough proves, mix the walnuts, sesame seeds, brown sugar, cinnamon, and a pinch of salt in a small bowl. Set aside.
4. Once the dough has risen, place it on a lightly oiled surface. Divide it into six equal pieces using a scale or by eye. Shape each piece into a disc about 10–12cm (4–5 inches) in diameter. Add a couple of spoonfuls of filling to the center, gather the edges, and pinch tightly to seal into a ball. Place seam-side down. Repeat with the remaining dough and filling.
5. Heat a pan over medium heat for 5–7 minutes, then lightly oil it. Add the dough balls to the pan, pressing them down with a spatula or weight to flatten into discs. Cook each pancake for 3–4 minutes on each side, until golden brown and cooked through.
6. Cook in batches, ensuring not to overcrowd the pan (2–3 at a time, depending on size). Once cooked, let them cool slightly before serving. Enjoy them warm while the filling is gooey.

  1. You know it occurred to me while watching this that, as a Korean American, I've never watched anybody make this from scratch lol, when I was young we usually made it with a premade mix. Either that or I got it on the streets of Korea where I was too focused on the hotteok itself to pay any attention to process of making it

  6. Hey andy just wanted to ask what is it that you do for the left over food, i mean we see u & ur wife having only a portion of what u make & sometimes the left over is huge, what is it that u do with that?

  7. Andy: “Hey babe, what do you wanna eat?”

    Babe: “Something that takes about 5 hours to prepare”

    Andy: “YES!!!”

    You two have relationships goals that not even NASA can explain 😂😂😂

  9. 뭐야ㅋㅋㅋ 너무너무 제대로 만드시네ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ 견과류에 호두와 해바라기 씨, 알러지가 없다면 땅콩을 넣어도 맛있습니다!

  11. As a Korean, I was very surprised that Andy made a PERFECT hotteok. In fact, I can guarantee that his hotteok will taste better than most other hotteok in Korea just by looking at it.

  14. korean here. we never make our own dough. you can buy premade flour in asian grocery stores, add water mix and you're good. its just too time consuming.

  15. Dude, you are truly amazing. Keep doing what you do, it’s entertaining it’s inspiring. I’ve been enjoying your channel for years.

  16. The only video I couldn't agree with Andy is when he chose to put this song 😂

  17. I think we prematurely praised Andy's editor for getting the music right in the previous video

  19. You should try making Romanian sweet pasta with walnuts and sugar, curious if you d like it 🙂

  29. I watch these with my toddler and she has started going to her toy kitchen and pulling open the door on it and yelling “hey babe, what do you wanna eat!”
    Also my dad’s name is Mitch and I really hope we get a “basic Mitch” outta her soon 😉
