"This is a recipe inspired by hoddeok (Korean fried pancakes), but baked instead! This recipe uses the basic dough from: http://www.food.com/recipe/5-minute-artisan-bread-325571"

 

• Ready In: 45mins
• Ingredients: 7
• Yields: 6 discs
• Serves: 6

ingredients

• 3 tablespoons peanut butter
• 3 tablespoons honey
• 1 egg
• 1 tablespoon water
• 3 tablespoons sugar
• 2 teaspoons cinnamon
• pastry dough (cantaloupe sized piece)

directions

1. Mix the peanut butter and honey together, and place in the fridge.
2. Set oven to 350 degrees.
3. Prepare a cookie sheet with nonstick parchment paper (or greased with oil).
4. Prepare the dough: divide into 5 pieces. Flatten out into circular shape (keep it thick, this isn't the final rolling). Do this for all 5 pieces.
5. Make the egg batter/wash: Mix the egg, water, sugar, and cinnamon.
6. Take out the peanut butter and honey mixture. Divide into 5 pieces and roll into circles.
7. Place the peanut butter/honey mix in each of the dough circles.
8. Close the dough around the peanut butter/honey mixture (like a dumpling!). Use a rolling pin to flatten out as thin as you are able to.
9. Place the discs on the prepared cookie sheet (I could only fit 3 per cookie sheet). Cover the discs with the egg mixture.
10. Using a pizza cutter, cut out strips or square shapes in the dough.
11. Bake for 15-20 minutes.
12. If you want to divide the dough into 2 big pieces and roll it out into a rectangular shape to make longer strips, you may want to poke it with a fork to keep the dough from puffing up to much!
