Walnut Cakes (Hodu-gwaja)

호두과자

The national snack of Korean highway rest stops. Rip open the bag in the car and the walnut smell fills it all the way to the back seat. Slightly sad when you get one without red bean.

❝ Hodu-gwaja was first made in 1934 at Hakhwa Hodu-gwaja in Cheonan. Cheonan is famous for it because its Gwangdeok area is where Korean walnut farming began: in the Goryeo dynasty, Yu Cheong-sin brought walnut trees from China and planted them there. ❞
