Cachapas

Here is a picture of a cachapa. Cachapas are a traditional Venezuelan dish made from corn. It was hard to make them because I had to not let them rip. Cachapas are a appetizer for a taste of Venezuela whenever you like. They are very good if you like cheese. Here is the recipe.


Ingredients

  • 4 cups tender corn kernels (canned corn may be used)
  • 3 teaspoons salt
  • 3/4-1 cup water (depending on how tender the corn is)
  • 3/4 cup sugar

Directions

  1. 1
    Mix all the ingredients in a blender.
  2. 2
    The mix should become thick and heavy.
  3. 3
    If not, add more corn or a few tablespoons of Jiffy Corn Muffins Mix (not gluten-free).
  4. 4
    Shape the mix into small pancakes approximately 1/2 inch thick and about 5 inches in diameter.
  5. 5
    Let them cook on medium heat for about one minute on each side, or until small bubbles form on the top.
  6. 6
    Pancakes should be served hot, and may be accompanied with cheese (feta cheese is a good option).
