Korean filled yeast pancakes

Hotteok is a sweet, filled yeast pancake and a hallmark of Korean street stalls, especially in winter when it comes steaming off the griddle.

As it fries, the filling of brown sugar, cinnamon and nuts caramelises into a molten core – crisp outside, warm and syrupy within.
