Cooking Instructions
Step 1
Let me introduce you to the ingredients you’ll need to make the popular winter treat, ‘Hoppang Waffle’, also known as ‘Hofl’! With this recipe, you can easily create a special dessert at home.
Step 2
To enjoy this wonderful winter treat, all you need are hoppang and a waffle maker! First, preheat your waffle maker. To make the hoppang even more delicious and rich, place a small cube of butter in the center of the waffle maker and let it melt. Isn’t it exciting to see the butter slowly melt?
Step 3
Carefully place one red bean hoppang onto the hot waffle maker. Now, close the lid and press down gently to form the waffle shape.
Step 4
Be gentle when pressing; if you push too hard, the sweet red bean filling inside might ooze out. Press slowly and evenly. This will create your first delicious red bean hoppang waffle!
Step 5
Now, let’s make a savory pizza hoppang waffle. Similarly, melt a piece of butter on the hot waffle maker, place the pizza hoppang on top, and press down firmly to create the waffle shape.
Step 6
Melting butter in the waffle maker will help the outside of the hoppang turn a beautiful golden brown, making it even more appealing. Flip the waffle maker occasionally to ensure the hoppang is evenly golden and crispy on the outside, while staying warm and soft inside.
Step 7
Voila! Your delightful homemade snack is ready in no time. Doesn’t the waffle maker shape look appetizing? While it’s delicious as is, let’s plate it beautifully for a more special experience.
Step 8
Arrange the finished hoppang waffles on a pretty plate that evokes a home cafe vibe. Add a scoop of smooth vanilla ice cream, and decorate with fresh blueberries and a refreshing Hallabong tangerine for a pop of color. A sprinkle of colorful sprinkles and a dusting of winter-themed powdered sugar will make it even more visually appealing.
Step 9
The sweet and tangy Hallabong, which is in season now, pairs wonderfully with the savory pizza hoppang waffle, both in flavor and color. Just by pressing a hoppang in a waffle maker, you can feel like you’re enjoying a special treat at a cafe.
Step 10
Aren’t the finished hoppang waffles so cute? They would look great decorated with any fruit!
Step 11
The round blueberries and cute Hallabong add an extra touch of charm to the hoppang waffles. Their adorable appearance is sure to brighten your day!
Step 12
Dusting the waffles with powdered sugar creates a whimsical, snowy effect, adding to the cozy atmosphere. Before the vanilla ice cream melts, let’s dig into these delicious hoppang waffles!
Step 13
Cutting a hoppang waffle in half with a knife reveals a wonderfully crispy exterior. Tasting it, it’s the perfect ‘crispy outside, moist inside’ texture! The red bean hoppang waffle is especially delicious when dipped generously into the cool vanilla ice cream.
Step 14
The pizza hoppang waffle also has an incredibly crispy exterior. It’s amazing how such a different and delicious snack can be created with the simple step of using a waffle maker! Children will surely love this too. I highly recommend making these special hoppang waffles before winter ends for a warm and enjoyable time.
