Hoddeok

Hoddeok is a delicious Korean pancake filled with a sweet and nutty mixture, perfect for a comforting lunch. This Halal version maintains the authentic flavors while ensuring all ingredients are permissible.

Ingredients

• All-purpose flour - 200 grams
• Granulated sugar - 30 grams
• Yeast - 5 grams
• Warm water - 150 ml
• Milk - 50 ml
• Salt - 1/4 teaspoon
• Cooking oil - 1 tablespoon
• Brown sugar - 40 grams
• Chopped walnuts - 30 grams
• Cinnamon powder - 1 teaspoon

Steps

1. In a bowl, combine warm water, yeast, and 10 grams of sugar. Stir gently and let it activate for about 10 minutes until frothy.
2. In a separate bowl, mix the flour, remaining sugar, salt, and milk. Add the yeast mixture and knead until a smooth dough forms.
3. Cover the dough with a damp cloth and let it rise in a warm place for about 30 minutes or until doubled in size.
4. While the dough is rising, prepare the filling by mixing brown sugar, chopped walnuts, and cinnamon in a bowl. Set aside.
5. Once the dough has risen, punch it down and divide it into 4 equal pieces. Flatten each piece into a disc and place a tablespoon of the filling in the center.
6. Carefully fold the edges of the dough over the filling and pinch to seal. Shape into balls.
7. Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and add a little oil. Place the filled dough balls seam-side down in the skillet.
8. Cook for about 2-3 minutes on each side until golden brown, pressing down gently with a spatula to flatten them slightly.
9. Serve warm, optionally drizzled with honey or additional brown sugar.
