⏱ 75 min total🔪 20 min prep🔥 10 min cookMediumServes 6Korean

Ingredients

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 tsp instant yeast
  • 1 tbsp granulated sugar
  • 1/2 tsp kosher salt
  • 3/4 cup warm milk
  • 1 tbsp, plus more for cooking neutral oil
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar
  • 1 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 1/3 cup walnuts, finely chopped

Directions

  1. 1Mix flour, yeast, granulated sugar, and salt; add warm milk and 1 tablespoon oil and knead until a soft, slightly tacky dough forms.
  2. 2Cover the flour dough and let it rise 45 minutes, until visibly puffy.
  3. 3Mix brown sugar, cinnamon, and walnuts; divide the dough into 6 pieces and flatten each into a 4-inch round.
  4. 4Place 1 1/2 tablespoons brown-sugar filling in each dough round, pinch the edges closed, and shape seam-side down.
  5. 5Heat a thin layer of neutral oil in a skillet over medium and add 2–3 brown-sugar-filled flour dough balls.
  6. 6Cook each brown-sugar-filled flour dough ball 1 minute, flip, press to 1/2 inch thick, and cook 2–3 minutes per side until golden.

💡 Seal the filling completely before the pancake hits the pan; any loose seam lets molten sugar escape and burn against the skillet.
