- The filling leaked out.
- When sealing, make sure the dough edges aren't floury, and pinch them together thoroughly. Place in the pan seam-side down.
- The middle remained raw.
- The oil was too hot. Fry on medium heat and cover the pan for 1-2 minutes so it cooks through in the steam.
Carrot Hotteok
The scent of Korean winter: Hotteok is a yeast dough stuffed pancake, fried by street vendors on hot, oiled griddles. The eating experience is inimitable: after the crispy, fried exterior, your teeth sink into soft dough, then the hot, cinnamon-sugar syrup (here enriched with carrots) bursts out. Careful, the filling is piping hot!

Instructions
1
✓
Prepare the yeast dough and prove until doubled in size.
Tip: The dough has risen when it holds the indentation of your finger and doesn't spring back.
2
✓
Grate the carrots and mix with the sugar and cinnamon.
Tip: Sugar draws water from the carrots (osmosis), so the filling becomes syrupy during frying.
3
✓
Fill the dumplings, seal them, and fry in the pan, pressing them flat.
Tip: Only flatten (press) when the bottom is already slightly cooked, otherwise the raw dough will stick to the spatula.
