A Gyeran-ppang machine is an appliance with a few dozen oblong slots for pouring cake batter and eggs. [2] The cake mix usually consists of wheat flour, baking powder, milk, eggs, butter, sugar, salt and vanilla extract. [3] A whole egg is cracked onto the batter in each slot, and the egg breads are cooked till golden brown. [2] Common toppings include chopped parsley, cheese, and diced ham. [3]
