Instructions

Make Dough - In a bowl with lid, combine 1 cup lukewarm water, yeast, white sugar, salt, and vegetable oil. Add flour and mix until thoroughly combined.
Let it sit, covered, on the counter for 1 hour to rise. After 1 hour, remove cover and mix dough with a wooden spoon to release gas bubbles. Let it sit, covered, for another 20 minutes.
Make Filling - In a small bowl, mix together the brown sugar, cinnamon, and chopped walnuts.
Make Hotteok - Knead dough briefly to remove any remaining gas bubbles. Spread about ½ cup flour on a work surface. Put dough on surface and roll into a thick log, enough to make 8 equal slices. Flatten disks in your palm and add about 1 tbsp of filling to the center and then seal it and make a ball. Repeat until you have 8 filled balls.
Heat 1 or 2 nonstick frying pans over medium heat. Coat pans with a little vegetable oil. Place 1 ball in the middle of each pan and cook for 30 seconds to lightly brown bottom. Flip and press down with spatula to a wide circle the size of a CD. Cook for a about 1 minute until bottom becomes a golden brown. Flip again, turn heat to low, cover, and cook 1 more minute to melt the filling. Serve hot.
