Gyeran-ppang ( Korean: 계란빵; lit. egg bread) is a warm street snack sold throughout South Korea. [1] The fluffy, oblong-shaped loaf of bread is sweet and savory with a whole egg inside the pancake dough. [2] [3]
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]
Egg bread was first made at the back gate of Inha University in 1984. [4]
