US Customary | Metric

▢ 2¼ tablespoon granulated sugar
▢ 1/16 teaspoon baking soda

Instructions

Using a small nonstick frypan or metal ladle on low heat, pour in the sugar. Stir with wooden chopsticks until it melts completely.
2¼ tablespoon granulated sugar
As soon as the last sugar granules have melted, turn off the heat and add in the baking soda. Stir vigorously until all the baking soda have been incorporated.
1/16 teaspoon baking soda
Pour the entire mixture onto the baking sheet to create a circle. Count and wait 15-20 seconds. Press down firmly using the hotteok press, then lift up quickly. Place your desired cookie cutter in the middle of the flattened candy. Using your hotteok press once more, apply pressure to the cookie cutter to stamp your shape. Lift up your hotteok press and cookie cutter to reveal the finished candy. Allow candy to cool completely and enjoy!
