Maejakgwa is a Korean traditional cookie that’s really popular. The ingredients are very simple! The combination of  3 kinds of flavors make this cookie very special: ginger, cinnamon, and the pine nuts


INGREDIENTS
2/3 cup flour;
1/3 cup water;
a pinch of salt;
¼ cup sugar;
¼ cup water;
1 tsp ginger, sliced;
chopped hazelnuts for serving;
vegetable oil for frying.

METHOD
Mix flour with salt and water to make smooth dough. Cover and set aside.
Make quick syrup by boiling water, ginger and sugar together until sugar dissolves.
Roll out the dough thinly and cut off the edges to make rectangle. Cut the dough into 16 strips.
Fold each strip in half, make 4 cuts in the middle, unfold and push on of the ends inside, as shown on the video. Repeat with other strips.
Fry in preheated oil for 3-4 minutes (until golden yellow) and transfer into war syrup. Stir to coat and serve sprinkled with chopped hazelnuts.
