Hoddeok (호떡)

Hello! I'm sorry for the late update! I got caught up with work, getting ready for classes, and organizing moving logistics for my new roommates who will be joining me here in my apartment in the next few days. I just started working at a bakery that sells the most scrumptious looking pastries and breads. Training for the job all of last week was tough but so much fun at the same time! =)

Several days ago, I tried my hand at making hoddeok (호떡), which is a Korean sweet pancake dessert. It's traditionally filled with a cinnamon sugar mix, but because Maangchi suggested the use of a mozzarella cheese stuffing, I tried that too. Here's how it turned out:

In all honesty, I wasn't a huge fan of the mozzarella "innards", as my younger sister would call it. One Maangchi fan ate the mozzarella hoddeok with marinara sauce, so maybe I'll try that as well... The traditional hoddeok with the cinnamon sugar mix was delicious! As a tip though, try to get as much of the mix into the dough as possible because otherwise, the hoddeok may come out a bit bland.
