Make the dough:

Cup of Yum
1. Combine the warmed milk, sugar, yeast in a small bowl, and let the yeast become bubbly.
2. Add the dry ingredients into a stand mixer bowl fitted with a dough hook and then pour in the bubbly yeast mixture.
3. Start to knead the mixture and pour in the oil. Knead until the dough becomes soft and elastic.
4. Transfer the dough to a lightly oiled bowl and cover with a cloth. Let the dough rise in a warm location, until doubled in size.
5. Once risen, divide the dough into 6 equal balls.

Make the filling:

1. In a small bowl, combine the brown sugar, cinnamon and crushed peanuts and give it a stir.

Fill the hotteok:

1. Use a rolling pin to flatten the dough and place about 2 heaped teaspoons of the cinnamon-sugar-peanut filling.
2. If you're using red bean paste: use about 20g (a small ice cream scoop) of filling per hotteok.
3. Gather and pinch the seams together and press down firmly to flatten.
4. Preheat a griddle over medium heat. Lightly grease the griddle.
5. Place the flattened hotteok onto the griddle and cook about 2-3 minutes on each side, until lightly golden in colour.
6. Note: You may need to adjust the heat accordingly.
7. Remove from the griddle and enjoy while warm.
