4. Put one of the dough pieces on your fingers and flatten it with your hands so you can add a filling the size of a 1 Tbsp. Once finished, seal the dough by bringing the corners together. Do the same with the remaining dough.
5. A medium-sized frying pan should be preheated before adding a thin layer of cooking oil.

1. Place one or more dough balls, depending on the size of the pan. If more, give the dough room to expand when pressed down) into the pan and cook it until the bottom side is just beginning to turn golden brown on medium heat (about 30 seconds). With a sturdy turner or expert hotteok press, flip it over and press the dough down. Cook until the bottom is well-browned. Then turn the heat down to low after one final flip of the pancake. Cook with the cover on the pan until the sugar filling is completely melted. If you don’t cook it any longer while covering it, it will still be edible but the sugar filling won’t be completely melted.
2. Repeat step 6 with the remaining dough after transferring the pancake to a plate. Enjoy it!
