I’ve been dating my boyfriend for almost a year now and one of my love languages is cooking and baking. I’ve found that making hotteok(?) is super easy and very delicious to make, but I wanted to know any suggestions or tips to help with it. Here’s the progression of each batch (I’ve made more than two btw, I just deleted the other photos).

How sweet! 호떡 is delicious—I’m sure he’ll love them! 💕
I’m not sure what tips could be given without knowing what you’ve been doing.
Also not sure if it’s worth commenting on the first batch as some of the issues you have with the first one seem to have been resolved with the second batch with look reasonably decent.
The only thing I can suggest based on what little we have to go on is to use more oil and cook at a lower temp. More oil means more contact so the edges won’t look so white and underdone. You’d basically be shallow frying them in oil, similar to [this video](https://youtu.be/eAEc-lnIQhw?si=NeKEvdYH6aR7ECND&t=98).
Lower heat means more time to get the nice colouring of 4 o’clock and avoid almost burning 1 o’clock and 8 o’clock and you won’t get such an obviously small circular patch that you have with 1 and 6.
If you can give more info and maybe what a cross section looks like, we’d be better able to help with any tips/advice.
You gotta let us know what he thinks
