How to Make Squid Game Fish Bun Pastry Bungeoppang

Ingredients:

1 cup plain flour or cake flour, sifted
2 tsp. baking soda, sifted
1/4 tsp. fine sea salt
175 ml. milk or water
3 tbsp. castor sugar
1 tbsp. melted butter
1 egg
1 tbsp. melted butter or cooking oil for cooking

Filling Options:

"Use about 1 tbsp. of filling per fish"

Sweetened red bean paste
Custard
Chocolate
Nutella
Ham and cheese (for savory fillings)

Instructions:

Combine all batter ingredients in a medium bowl and mix them well.

Transfer the mixture into a jug that has a spout for easy pouring.

Preheat a bungeoppang pan (fish shaped pan) over medium low heat.

Quickly brush the pan with some melted butter or cooking oil.

Pour the batter mixture onto the bungeoppang pan.

Only cover about 50 % of the pan.

Repeat as necessary until the sugar completely melts without any lumps, but let it cool off a little before adding the baking soda.

Holding the ladle away from the heat, stir in the baking soda.

Stir quickly and vigorously (20 to 25 times) until the baking soda is completely dissolved and the frothy mixture turns light caramel-color.

Add your choice of filling then add more batter mixture on top to cover the fish mould.

Close the pan and turn it over quickly.

Cook both sides of the pan until the fish pastry turns golden brown (about 2 mins each side).
