Beksul Buchimgaru (Beksul Pancake Mix) is a specially blended flour mix designed for making traditional Korean savory pancakes (jeon / buchimgae). Unlike plain wheat flour, it comes pre-mixed with seasonings such as garlic powder, onion powder, and pepper, as well as baking powder, glutinous rice flour, starch, and xanthan gum — so all you need to do is add water and your batter is ready. Think of it like a European pancake mix, but formulated specifically for savory Korean-style pancakes rather than sweet desserts. The addition of glutinous rice flour gives the finished pancake a chewier, more tender texture compared to a plain flour batter.

⚠️ Please check the allergen information carefully. The main ingredient of this product is wheat flour, which contains a significant amount of gluten. It is not suitable for people with coeliac disease or gluten intolerance. In addition, the product is manufactured in a facility that also handles eggs, milk, peanuts, soy, sulphur dioxide, crustaceans, and molluscs, so there is a risk of cross-contact for those with allergies to these ingredients. According to the EU export label, eggs, milk, peanuts, soy, sulphur dioxide, crustaceans, and molluscs are listed as "may contain" allergens. If you have a serious allergy, please consult a qualified healthcare professional before consuming this product.

At this time, we are unable to confirm whether this product is suitable for vegans or vegetarians. While the ingredient list itself consists of plant-based ingredients, the product does not hold any official vegan or vegetarian certification. Furthermore, as eggs and milk are handled in the same manufacturing facility, the possibility of cross-contact cannot be ruled out. For these reasons, we are currently unable to recommend this product for those following a strict vegan or vegetarian diet. For more precise information, please contact the manufacturer (Beksul / CJ CheilJedang) or the importer directly.

Beksul Buchimgaru can be used to make a wide variety of traditional Korean savory pancakes. The most popular are Pajeon (spring onion pancake) and Haemul Pajeon (seafood pancake) — beloved Korean street foods and home-cooked staples. You can also make Gamja-jeon (potato pancake), Hobak-jeon (zucchini pancake), and Kimchi-jeon (Kimchi pancake). The method is simple: mix Buchimgaru with cold water at a ratio of approximately 1:1.3 to form a batter, add your chosen ingredients (spring onion, seafood, vegetables, etc.), and pan-fry in a generously oiled pan. Serve with a dipping sauce made from soy sauce and vinegar — the traditional Korean way.

Before opening, store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight at room temperature. After opening, exposure to air and moisture can cause the powder to clump or deteriorate, so transfer it to an airtight container or resealable bag and store in a cool, dry place, using it as soon as possible. Always check the date printed on the product packaging for the exact best-before date. As this is a large 1kg format, proper airtight storage is especially important if you do not use the entire contents at once.
