Easy Cachapas Recipe (+VIDEO)
Report
Cachapas are soft, sweet, and savory corn pancakes – a delicious Venezuelan breakfast dish. Made with fresh corn and a few other simple ingredients, these cachapas can be easily folded over a cheese filling such as Queso de Mano, mozzarella, or cream cheese. Incredibly delicious! (No special flour needed.)

Instructions
- Prepare the corn: Husk the ears of corn, removing the husks and silk. Cut the kernels off each ear.
- Make the batter: In a blender or food processor, add corn kernels, cornmeal, milk, sugar, and salt. Blend until combined.
- Add eggs and softened butter, and blend for one more minute.
- Pour the mixture into a jar, and add flour. Use a whisk to mix. (The batter will be thick in consistency. If you find the batter too thin, just add a tablespoon of flour into the batter at a time until reaching the desired consistency)
- Let it chill in the refrigerator for 20 minutes while heating up your pan or griddle.
- Make Cachapas: Heat a non-stick pan over low-medium heat and add a little butter to lightly grease the pan.
- Once the pan is very hot, pour 1/3 cup of batter onto the pan and spread out gently into a round shape.
- When the underside turns golden (after about 2 minutes), flip with a spatula and cook until the other side turns golden. Repeat with the remaining batter.
- Once cooked, transfer your cachapas to a plate, and add cheese on top. Fold your cachapas gently. Serve warm and enjoy immediately.
