Introduction
One of my favorite Korean street foods in the winter. Made a little healthier with whole wheat flour, less sugar, and no oil to fry them in. One of my favorite Korean street foods in the winter.

Ingredients
-
Bowl 1
1/2 tsp Instant Dry Yeast
1 1/2 C Whole Wheat Flour
dash of salt
1/2 C 1% milk
3 1/2 tbsp water
Bowl 2
1 tbsp finely chopped almonds
1/3 C lightly packed brown sugar
2 tsp cinnamon
scrape the seeds out of 1 vanilla bean pod (optional)
Tips
This dough is very sticky. Dip your hands in water before touching the dough.
Be careful not to press too thinly - you don't want your filling to leak out. I use the tips of my fingers to spread it out in the pan.
Directions
Mix all the ingredients of bowl 1 together. Place plastic wrap over the bowl and let rise for approximately 1 hour.
Mix the ingredients for bowl 2 together. This is your filling.
Completely wet your hands before trying to work with the dough - very sticky.
Make 8 balls from your bowl 1 dough. Slightly flatten each ball and put a rounded teaspoon from bowl 2 into the middle. Pinch your sides together to form a ball around your filling.
Heat a cast iron frying pan or non stick pan. Place one ball at a time (pinched side down). After 30 ~ 40 seconds press down with a wet spatula or wet fingers to form a circle (approximately 1/4 inch thick). When it has browned, flip over and brown the other side.
