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).
