Recipe 🍳
- In a pot, combine brown sugar, honey, potato starch, cinnamon powder, and water in the given amounts, and mix evenly.
- Place the pot on the heat and stir gently over low heat until the sugar dissolves and the mixture becomes thick and translucent.
- Once the syrup has thickened, turn off the heat and generously add the prepared seeds and nuts mix, stirring to combine evenly to complete the filling.
- Lay a clean tortilla flat and place a generous amount of the seed syrup filling in the center.
- Fold the tortilla firmly in half, wrapping it so the filling does not leak out.
- Place the tortilla hotteok in a dry pan or a pan lightly greased with oil. Flip back and forth until both sides are golden brown and crispy.
- Mix brown sugar, honey, starch, cinnamon powder, and water. Boil until thickened, then stir in seed mix to make the filling.
- Place the syrup filling on a tortilla and fold in half.
- Cook in a pan, flipping both sides until golden and crispy.
Cooking tips 💡
- Adding potato starch when boiling the syrup prevents the melted sugar from running and keeps it thick, so it won't leak out of the tortilla while cooking.
- For the nuts, you can add chopped peanuts, sunflower seeds, or pumpkin seeds according to preference to enhance the nutty crunch.
- When cooking, gently press down with a spatula to ensure the tortilla doesn't lift and becomes evenly crispy.
