Chapssal doughnut


Chapssal doughnuts are Korean doughnuts made with glutinous rice flour. The mildly sweet doughnuts are often filled with sweetened red bean paste and coated with the mixture of sugar and cinnamon powder. Glutinous rice flour dough creates the crunchy outside texture and chewy inside texture. Beside food stalls in traditional markets, the doughnuts are also sold through franchise bakeries such as Dunkin' Donuts Korea and Paris Baguette.

Etymology

The Korean compound chapssal-doneot literally means "glutinous rice doughnut", as chapssal refers to "glutinous rice" and doneot is a loanword from the English word "doughnut".
