A dessert that has no parallel, the Korean Yagkwa are made with soju, honey, pine nuts, and ginger honey syrup, which offer a super soft and moist texture.

Ingredients (8 servings)

2 ¼ cup medium protein flour

¼ cup sesame oil

¼ cup soju

¼ cup honey

⅛ teaspoons salt

1 teaspoon baking powder

¼ teaspoon baking soda

2 tablespoons melted butter

2 tablespoons peanuts, chopped

Ginger Honey Syrup

1 cup of rice syrup

1 cup honey

2 cup of water

1 tablespoon grated fresh ginger

Instructions

At 250 degrees F, preheat your oven. Mix the flour with baking soda, baking powder, and salt in a suitable bowl. Stir in the sesame oil, and then mix well. Mix the soju with honey in another bowl, and then pour into the flour mixture. Roll the dough into a ball and divide it into half. Spread each half into ¼ inch thick rectangle. Cut the dough sheets into 1-inch wide strips and cut each strip into diamonds. Place these pieces in a baking pan and brush their tops with butter. Bake them for 15 minutes. Meanwhile, mix the honey, water, and rice syrup in a saucepan. Cook for 1 minute, then add ginger and mix well. Increase the oven’s temperature to 300 degrees F and continue baking for another 10 minutes. Then raise the temperature to 350 degrees F, and then cook for 8 minutes. Drizzle the syrup and peanuts over the Yagkwa. Serve.
