Ingredients

• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 2 tablespoons sugar
• 1 teaspoon instant yeast
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 3 quarters warm milk
• 0.25 cup water
• 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
• 0.5 cup brown sugar
• 1 teaspoon cinnamon
• 0.25 cup chopped walnuts
• 0 cooking oil (for frying)

Directions

Step 1

In a large bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, sugar, instant yeast, and salt. Mix well.

Step 2

Add the warm milk, water, and vegetable oil to the dry ingredients. Stir the mixture until it forms a sticky dough.

Step 3

Cover the bowl with plastic wrap or a damp kitchen towel and let the dough rise in a warm place for about 1 hour or until it has doubled in size.

Step 4

While the dough is rising, prepare the filling. In a small bowl, mix together the brown sugar, cinnamon, and chopped walnuts. Set aside.

Step 5

Once the dough has risen, punch it down to release the air. Divide it into 8 equal portions and shape each portion into a ball.

Step 6

Flatten each dough ball into a small disc using your hands. Place 1 to 2 teaspoons of the filling in the center of the disc.

Step 7

Carefully fold the edges of the dough over the filling and pinch them together tightly to seal, forming a smooth ball. Repeat with the remaining dough and filling.

Step 8

Heat a non-stick skillet or frying pan over medium heat and add a thin layer of cooking oil.

Step 9

Place one filled dough ball into the pan, seam-side down. Use a spatula to gently press it down into a pancake shape, about 1/4 inch thick.

Step 10

Cook the pancake for 2 to 3 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and crispy. Repeat with the remaining pancakes, adding more oil as needed.

Step 11

Serve the Ho Dduk warm and enjoy their gooey cinnamon-sugar filling!
