Hey, Seonkyoung! I am planning to make this recipe, but wonder if that much vinegar is going to make the bread taste sour. Thank you! 🙂

SeonkyoungOctober 18, 2015 at 8:08 pm

Vinegar is just to create quick butter milk, it doesn’t make the bread taste sour. 🙂

Hi! I really like your video. You seem like such a sweet person!

I made this recipe but the batter came out really thick. I ended up added about 1/2 cup of buttermilk to make the batter pourable. Is is possible you didn’t write the correct amount in the ingredient list?

SeonkyoungApril 4, 2016 at 5:38 pm

Hello Samantha, I just double checked my written recipe and it is correct measurement.

AbcJune 12, 2016 at 4:35 pm

For me too..the same case..
Batter was thick..so I added more buttermilk

SamiApril 22, 2017 at 6:42 pm

I made it as is and mine came out thick as well. I decided to stick with it and it was amazing!

Becki 하영July 3, 2016 at 6:35 pm

Followed the recipe as is and batter turned out just fine. The smell in my kitchen is AMAZING! Thank you for all the recipes. I am a Korean adoptee and came to the states when I was 5 but still have a taste for Korean food and cooking korean at home makes me feel like I have something culturally to pass down to my kids ♡♡♡

YAAAASSS!!! So happy it ruined out great! 😀 Korean food is just in our blood, girl! <3

The idea of adding shrimp is very interesting to me. Do you think i should precook the shrimp? or is the time in the oven while the bread baking gonna be enough time?

SeonkyoungMay 27, 2017 at 8:53 pm

If it’s small shrimp, will be enough time for shrimp to fully cook in oven!
