Description
Traditional Korean cookies made with wheat flour, sesame oil, and honey, fried to golden perfection and coated in a fragrant honey-ginger syrup for a chewy, aromatic treat.
Ingredients
2 cups all-purpose flour
4 tablespoons sesame oil
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 cup honey
1/4 cup water
Oil for frying
Honey Syrup:
1/2 cup honey
1/2 cup water
2 slices fresh ginger
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine flour, sesame oil, and salt, mixing until crumbly.
In a separate small bowl, whisk together honey, and water. Add to the flour mixture and knead until a smooth dough forms.
Roll out dough to about 1/4-inch thickness and cut into small flower shapes (traditionally with a yakgwa mold).
Heat oil in a deep pan to 300°F (150°C). Fry cookies in batches until golden brown, about 3–4 minutes per side. Drain on paper towels.
In a saucepan, combine honey, water, and ginger slices. Simmer for 5 minutes, then remove ginger.
Dip warm cookies into the honey syrup, ensuring they are well coated. Let them sit for at least 30 minutes to absorb flavor before serving.
