Ingredients
Method
- Place the fresh corn kernels in a blender or food processor and blend until slightly chunky. You want a semi-smooth texture, not a completely fine puree.
- In a mixing bowl, combine the blended corn, cornmeal, all-purpose flour, milk, sugar, salt, and egg. Mix until a thick batter forms.
- Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat and lightly grease it with butter or oil.
- Pour about 1/4 cup of the batter onto the skillet and spread it gently into a round shape, similar to a pancake.
- Cook each cachapa for 2-3 minutes on one side, or until golden brown and set, then flip and cook for another 2-3 minutes on the other side.
- Repeat with the remaining batter, greasing the skillet as needed between batches.
- Once cooked, serve the cachapas warm. Fill them with queso de mano or mozzarella cheese, folding them in half like a taco, and let the cheese melt slightly.
Notes
For best results, use fresh corn kernels. If using canned corn, ensure it is well-drained. Queso de mano is the traditional cheese, but mozzarella works as a substitute.
