Hotteok (pronounced ho-duck) is a traditional Korean snack typically filled with a sweet nutty filling. It’s a snack that is usually enjoyed during the winter in Korea. Today, I’ve taken the liberty of creating an apple cheddar filling and this pancake can be enjoyed anytime of the year! I received Lady Alice apples from Rainier Fruit and it’s perfect for this recipe with its sweetness and firm texture. These apples are great for snacking also! I was also able to use white granulated sugar from Dixie Crystals, the best yeast from RED STAR, and my favorite lactose-free sharp cheddar cheese from Cabot Cheese.
Nothing says love more than fried dough! Also forget the knife and fork…grab a pancake and enjoy!
Apple Hotteok (Fried Stuffed Pancakes) #BrunchWeek
Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose white flour
- 1 cup sweet rice flour
- 2 tablespoons white granulated sugar
- 1 - 1/4 oz. packet of yeast
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1-1/2 cup warm water 115-116 degrees is ideal
- Filling:
- 2 Lady Alice apples or other cooking apples do not use Red Delicious, peeled, cored, and finely chopped
- Juice from half a lemon
- 1 teaspoon lemon zest
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar
- 1 tablespoon white granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- Pinch of nutmeg
- Pinch of salt
- 1/2 cup grated sharp cheddar cheese
- Cooking oil for frying
Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the flours, sugar, salt. In a large measuring cup OR small mixing bowl, stir together the yeast and warm water. Add this mixture into the large mixing bowl. With a rubber spatula, mix until dough forms.
- Loosely cover the dough with plastic wrap and let it rise at room temperature for about 1 hour.
- In a small bowl, mix together the chopped apples, lemon juice, lemon zest, brown sugar, white sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, salt and cheddar cheese. Set aside.
- Roll the dough out onto a lightly floured surface. Divide the dough into 8 equal parts.
- The dough is really sticky so lightly dust each portion of dough. Also dust your palms with flour. Take one portion of dough and gently flatten it to about a 5-inch diameter circle. Place about 1/4 cup of the apple mixture in the center of the dough. Carefully pull the edges of the dough to the center and pinch to secure. Make sure there are no holes. Place onto a baking sheet that has been dusted flour. Repeat for the remaining portions of dough.
- Heat 1/4 cup cooking oil in a 9-inch diameter non-stick or cast iron skillet over medium-low heat. Place the stuffed dough into the skillet. Gently and carefully press down on the dough to flatten as it cooks. Let cook for about 3 minutes or until a light golden brown. Carefully flip over and gently flatten with your spatula as it cooks. Let cook for another 3 minutes until golden brown.
- Place pancake on a baking rack lined with paper towels. Repeat the above step for the remaining pancakes.
- Serve hot!
Psst…I’ve also made this with a strawberry filling!
