"Ho-tteok" is a variety of filled Korean pancake, and is a popular street food of South Korea. It is usually eaten during the winter season.

Preparation

The dough for "ho-tteok" is made from wheat flour, water, milk, sugar, and yeast. The dough is allowed to rise for several hours. Handful-sized balls of this stiff dough are filled with a sweet mixture, which may contain brown sugar, honey, chopped peanuts, and/or cinnamon. The filled dough is then placed on a greased griddle, and pressed flat into a large circle with a special tool with a stainless steel circle and wooden handle as it cooks.

In South Korea, ready-made dry "hotteok" mix is commercially available in plastic packages. The mix also comes with a filling consisting of brown sugar and ground peanuts or sesame seeds.

Origin

It is believed that "ho-tteok" originated from Chinese merchants who immigrated to Korea after the late 19th century. Unlike many Chinese pancakes, which often contain savory meat fillings, "ho-tteok" are stuffed with sweet fillings, to suit Koreans' tastes.

Varieties

The types of "hotteok" have been changing continuously. In recent years, however, new variations have developed - one of them is the well-being "hotteok". Its dough contains green tea powder so it becomes greenish after baking. [http://www.flickr.com/photos/allysther/2199685482/ photo] Another variety is pink "hotteok". Its dough contains added berries, such as "Rubus coreanus" (a raspberry-like berry that is also used to make Korean berry wine). Fact|date=April 2008Or|date=April 2008

Nutrition

"Hotteok" is usually eaten during the winter season but it is not recommended to overindulge due its high sugar content; a single "hotteok" may have as many as 230 calories. [겨울철에 약이되는음식& 독이되는음식 kukinews 2007.01.07 ]
