Cachapas

Cultural Context

2 cups corn kernels
1/2 cup corn flour
Pinch of salt
1 egg (optional)
2 tbsp sugar (optional)
1/2 cup of milk (optional)
Queso de Mano
1

Mix all ingredients together in a blender or food processor to make a thick batter, similar to that of pancakes.

2

If the corn you are using is sweet enough, you may skip the sugar.

3

If the corn you are using is juicy enough, you may skip the egg and milk or adjust amount to get a thick consistency.

4

Let rest for 15 minutes and the mixture will get significantly thicker.

5

Butter a heavy skillet over medium flame.

6

Add about 1/2 cup of the batter, spreading it out with the ladle.

7

If you wish to make filled cachapas, you can place a thin slice of cheese in the middle and cover it with a little more batter.

8

Cover and let cook for about 5-7 minutes or until you see bubbles on the surface.

9

Flip the cachapa to cook on the other side for another 5 minutes.

10

Serve hot with butter and a soft fresh white cheese.
