Artisanal Pumpkin and Honey Yakgwa, The Royal Korean Pastry
A traditional Hangwa pastry once reserved for royalty. A flower-shaped cookie fried and then dipped in a honey and ginger syrup. Sweet pumpkin worked into the dough for a golden color and an exceptional roundness in the mouth. Signature texture: lightly crisp outside, soft and melting inside. Allergens: gluten (wheat), sesame.
How to enjoy
Yakgwa pairs ideally with full-bodied teas: the noble bitterness of a matcha, the freshness of an ujeon, or the roasted notes of a buckwheat tea. Warmed for a few seconds in the microwave to soften the honey heart, it is an absolute delight. A perfect match with a grand cru green tea or a ssanghwa-cha.
