Korean Egg Bread (Gyeran bbang ,계란빵)

Korean Egg Bread (Gyeran bbang ,계란빵)

I just came across this when a Facebook friend told me about it. So I went ahead and baked a small batch for the kids’ breakfast. They are really nice. I will make them again in a few weeks. So here’s my own version of this Korean street food. I think I have ‘westernized’ the taste a little, making the flavour a bit bigger.  12871486_10209078866798958_2886004962313531630_n

You can also make them into loaves. Like this: 11967_10209126138980733_6608104262216473171_n12717981_10209126139820754_4728743586450221737_n12400988_10209126139380743_7760763991411416550_n12670747_10209126139620749_6366507855486035552_n
