Pancakes are most popular food for breakfast and ready pancake mixes are big time saver, they are easy and convenient to prepare.  One of the benefits when making your own homemade pancakes is to avoid unnecessary ingredients such sugar and corn syrup.

Above is the mini pancakes/hot cakes we made the other day from Ottogi Hot Cake Mix we bought in the supermarket, my husband and I cooked separately. He cooked mini pancakes and I cooked bigger but they didn’t turn out well because they are not fully cooked, haha excuse me it is my first time to cook pancakes from ready mixed.

Pancake mixture is usually made of very simple ingredients such as flour, eggs, butter and milk. To prepare delicious pancakes, use native eggs when making pancake mixture.

We’ve been wanting to eat hot cake since the last 4 years but looking in the hot cake mix in every Korean supermarket we are just left in a corner wishing for the day we can finally buy a hot cake mix. It is not about the price it is about the product description and how to cook it, my husband and I can’t read or speak Hangul.

Well few days ago my friend in Korea who now resides in the US shared the photo of hot cake she just cooked for late night snacks.  I’ve told her about our ordeal and she happily shared her recipes, so when my husband came home from work I opened up of having hot cake on our Friday cheat day, he is a little unwilling because he said it is a different mix but I insisted that I can translate the description written in the package by using virtual Korean keyboard.

So when we shopped for groceries we scanned the hot cake mix for a good deal, Ottogi Hot Cake Mix is the best deal we could get so we bought one package which is 500g and two bottle of Ottogi Cake Syrup.  When we reached home, I carefully copied the procedure at the back using the virtual Korean keyboard and translate it  using Google.  It helps but the translation is not well translated, it is not easy to understand it is such a headache!

Oh well, when I got tired understanding the English translation I opted on searching in the internet and voila in just few key strokes I found what I need about Ottogi Hot Cake Mix.
