Ingredients
  

For the Batter
  • 2 cups Sweet Corn fresh or frozen
  • 1 large Egg binds the ingredients
  • 1 cup All-Purpose Flour adds structure
  • 1 teaspoon Salt enhances flavor
  • 1 tablespoon Granulated Sugar can substitute with honey
For Cooking
  • 2 tablespoons Vegetable Oil for frying
  • 2 tablespoons Unsalted Butter for serving
For the Filling
  • 1 cup Buffalo Mozzarella Cheese or queso de mano / queso fresco

Equipment

  • Blender or Food Processor
  • Large Skillet or Griddle

Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. In a blender or food processor, combine fresh sweet corn, a large egg, all-purpose flour, a pinch of salt, and granulated sugar. Blend until mostly smooth, leaving some corn texture for added bite.
  2. Place a large skillet or griddle over medium heat for about 2-3 minutes. Add a drizzle of vegetable oil, ensuring an even coating.
  3. Pour about 60 ml of the corn batter onto the skillet, spreading into a round shape. Cook for 3-4 minutes until edges set and bottom is golden. Flip and cook for an additional 3-4 minutes.
  4. Once both sides are golden, place slices of buffalo mozzarella cheese in the center. Fold the cachapa in half to melt the cheese.
  5. Transfer to a plate and top with a pat of unsalted butter. Serve warm.
