Ingredients
Batter
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 cup water
- 1 large egg
- 1 tablespoon sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- A pinch of salt
Filling
- Sweetened red bean paste (store-bought or homemade)
- If you prefer other fillings, custard, chocolate, or Nutella are good alternatives.
Equipment
- Bungeoppang pan (fish-shaped waffle iron)
Instructions
- Prepare the Batter:
- In a bowl, mix the flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt.
- Add the water and egg, then whisk until smooth. Avoid lumps but don’t overmix.
- Preheat the Bungeoppang Pan:
- Lightly oil both sides of the pan to prevent sticking.
- Place the pan on medium heat for a few minutes until it’s warm.
- Cooking the Bungeoppang:
- Pour a small amount of batter into one side of the fish mold, covering just the bottom.
- Add a spoonful of red bean paste (or your chosen filling) to the center of the batter.
- Pour a little more batter over the filling to cover it.
- Close and Cook:
- Close the pan tightly and cook on medium-low heat.
- Cook each side for 2-3 minutes until golden brown, flipping occasionally to ensure even cooking.
- Check for Doneness:
- Open the pan to check if it’s golden and crispy. Cook a bit longer if needed for more crispiness.
- Serve:
- Carefully remove the bungeoppang and serve hot!
Enjoy your homemade bungeoppang!
