A fully homemade version? Soon? Those words are music to my ears! Being a huge fan of hoddeok, I am salivating over your pictures but I don’t have any of that mix (nor the possibility of acquiring any). Your pics are great!

Oh! I haven’t had these since I was a child and my mom used to make them for me in the winter-time! I’ll have to see if she can still remember her recipe for these wonderful treats!

Beloved, Thanks. I made Hoddeok again, it is a fully homemade version
I think I am going to write about it next week sometime. So check it out.

Evil Jonny,
Sorry, I read your past comment after I posted this. They are called yummy “호떡”

passionfruit,
You are the lucky one.

Kat, It was super sweet, but artificial sweet I say.

Ellie, It has been a while since you had them. Do you even remember the taste? I am sure with your baking talent you can make one fine Hoddeok.

Hey Sue,

I just wanted to tell you great job on this site. I love it. I just found it a few days ago and I’m itching to try a lot of these recipes. I’m not Korean but I lived in Korea for a couple of years and loved eating these on those cold days while I was there. Do you know of a web site where I could buy these mixes? I looked on the sites you have linked and could not see them. I’ve been very tempted to drive to Chicago (hour and a half away) just to find a Korean market to buy this and other Korean foods I’m craving.

Thanks a ton!

Hi Kevin,

I also tried to look for these packets in both Korean and English on the website I linked to, I couldn’t find them either. I think those three shops are the only online Korean grocery shops in the USA as far as I can search on google. I am sorry about that.
However, if you are interested in making it on your own, I am going to do a post about the recipe on Monday, so you can try it from home. It is not that difficult to make, it takes similar time, and you will have most ingredients available at home.

Oh, this brings back a lot of memories from my time in Korea. I loved eating these fresh cooked from the street carts. The women that ran the carts usually cooked hoddeok, a walnut shaped pastry, and a fish shaped pastry but I can’t remember what these were called.

Hi Sue,

I know this is an old post but I just received a box of this mix from my parents when they came to visit me in college, and I found this really useful because I can’t read Korean (I’m Taiwanese), and there were no English cooking directions on the box. I also looked at your other recipes and I think I’ll try some of them out when I have the time (I’m a Korean food addict =] )! Keep up the great work!

oh right, I forgot to write about the pancakes! Like you said, the pancakes were very sweet; if i ever got these again, I’d probably use a lot less of that jam mix (even though there was almost a quarter of a ziplock bag left over when i finished preparing them).

thanks for the directions!

Hello! Thanks for sharing all your recipes! Another recipe for lazy students or people unable to get the premade package, is getting buttermilk biscuit tube and brown sugar. You just pull each biscuit out and put brown sugar inside and fry them in the pan. ^___^ I’m going to try your way with making it totally homemade. Very awsome.
