Hotteok

sweet filled pancake loved as a winter street snack

Hotteok is a pan-fried street pancake made from yeasted dough wrapped around brown sugar, cinnamon, and often nuts or seeds. The outside turns crisp while the center becomes chewy and molten, so the first bite requires a little patience. Sold steaming hot on winter streets, it is as much about warming your hands on the paper cup as it is about the caramel-like filling.
