Korean Sweet Pancake Mix (Hotteok)

Have you seen these pancakes before? They are called Hotteok / Hodduk /Hoddeok (호떡), and you can easily spot them on the street, especially in winter in Korea.

Hotteok used to be my favourite street snack when I was a child. Yeah I was that spoiled kid who cried for sweet snacks and embarrassed my mom. 🙂

The other day, my self proclaimed elves (my sisters) found a Hotteok recipe on the internet and they were busy making them. They somehow miscalculated the amount of the ingredients, so it wasn’t quite as good as it could be, but it was still good for their first try.

So I thought I should compare their Hotteok with something more “professional” and since I haven’t found any Hotteok carts on the street in my town, I decided to compare them with this premix version. 🙂

This is the premix packet for Hotteok and what is inside.

  • Product name – Q1 stuffed pancake mix
  • Made by – Samyang
  • Purchase price – 2500 won (US $2.60) from Homeplus
  • Weight – 550g (supposedly able to make 10 pancakes)
  • Contents – Premix 396g (left), filling jam mix 150g (right), Dry yeast 4g (centre)

There are Korean instructions on the side of the box and below is my English translation, plus additional opinions of mine.

The extra ingredients you will need are: water 260ml and some vegetable cooking oil.

How to Make Korean Sweet Pancake (Hotteok) with Pre-mix

Step 1. Sieve the premix (the yellowish packet), then add the dry yeast (silver packet) and water, knead it with a wooden spatula.

Step 2. Cover the bowl with wrap, and ferment it for 2 hours at room temperature (20-25 ℃). The volume of the dough needs to increase by 2 times.

Step 3. When the dough is ready, put some oil on your hands (for anti stick purpose) and separate an adequate amount of the dough(to allow ten pancakes to be made). Put one of the dough on your hand.

Step 4. Widen the dough with your hands and put a spoonful of jam mix (the green packet). Seal the dough. Repeat it for the rest of the dough. (You need to spread the dough more than in the picture. Otherwise it is hard to seal properly.)

Step 5. Pre heat the frying pan for 20 seconds and add some oil. Put 2-3 sealed dough balls onto the pan and cook them on medium to low heat. Turn them over when the bottom part is cooked and press the dough with a spatula.

Step 6. When the both sides are golden brown, serve.

Recommendation by the manufacturer

It is best if you consume all the fermented dough (dough without the jam mix) on the day you make it. However, if you can’t finish it all, keep it in the fridge (if you are going to consume it within 24 hours), otherwise keep it in the freezer, and defrost it well before you use it.
