Combine brown sugar, crushed peanuts, cinnamon, and honey in a small bowl for the filling.
3
Divide dough into 8 portions, flatten each into a disc, place a spoonful of filling in the center, and pinch edges tightly to seal.
4

💡

Tip: Press the hotteok down gently with a spatula before air frying to flatten them slightly — this mimics the traditional street vendor technique and ensures even crisping.
