Ingredients needed 🛒1 servings

  • Tortilla, as needed
  • Brown sugar, a little
  • Honey, a little
  • Potato starch, a little

Recipe 🍳

  1. In a pot, combine brown sugar, honey, potato starch, cinnamon powder, and water in the given amounts, and mix evenly.
  2. Place the pot on the heat and stir gently over low heat until the sugar dissolves and the mixture becomes thick and translucent.
  3. 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.
  4. Lay a clean tortilla flat and place a generous amount of the seed syrup filling in the center.
  5. Fold the tortilla firmly in half, wrapping it so the filling does not leak out.
  6. 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.
  1. Mix brown sugar, honey, starch, cinnamon powder, and water. Boil until thickened, then stir in seed mix to make the filling.
  2. Place the syrup filling on a tortilla and fold in half.
  3. 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.
