2019-07-07 11:31

This recipe is for Korean Egg-Bread, usually served as a street food and known as gyeran-ppang. It is, in essence, a (small) loaf of sweetenend pancake batter with an egg baked in.

Basically, I saw this video and thought... WANT. If nothing else, Koreas a bit far for a weekend jaunt, so I had a hunt around for recipes online, and then tweaked them slightly to suit my taste.

So, there's no claim that this is particularly authentic, but it does make a good snack or breakfast.

  • 5 tbsp caster sugar

  3. Put the sugar into a mixing bowl
  4. Add the baking butter, soda, salt and vanilla extract
  5. Crack a single egg into the bowl
  6. Add the flour and milk
  7. Whisk until it forms a small batter
  8. Get some cooking oil onto a piece of kitchen towl and rub it around the inside of the loaf tins
  9. Fill each pan about half way with the batter (don't overfill, particularly if you want a soft egg!)
  10. If you're using it, put a piece of mozerella at each end of each pan
  11. Crack an egg into the center of each pan
  12. If you're using them, add some bacon lardons to each pan
  13. Place into the oven for 13 minutes (15 for a hard egg)
  14. Push a knife into each, it should come out batter free, if not, place back in the oven for another couple of minutes
  15. Serve hot, best eaten with fingers (tear them apart) but knife and fork is fine too
