Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Can I make it without yeast?
A: You can use baking powder or self-rising flour, but the texture will be more like a cookie than a chewy pancake.
Q: How do I prevent the syrup from leaking?
A: Don't overfill, and make sure to pinch the dough seams very firmly before frying.
Q: Can I bake it instead of frying?
A: You can, but you'll lose that iconic crispy, oily exterior that makes Hotteok special.
