Description
Discover the authentic taste of Venezuela with these irresistible Sweet Corn Cachapas. These savory corn cakes are crispy on the outside, yet delightfully soft and fluffy on the inside, making them the perfect bite-sized treat for any occasion.
Ingredients
– 2 cups fresh corn kernels
– 1 cup all-purpose flour
– 1 cup milk
– 2 tablespoons white sugar
– 1 teaspoon baking powder
– 1/2 teaspoon salt
Instructions
1. In a large bowl, combine the fresh corn kernels, all-purpose flour, milk, white sugar, baking powder, and salt. Mix until a smooth batter forms.
2. Heat a lightly oiled griddle or nonstick skillet over medium heat.
3. Scoop the batter by the heaping tablespoonful and drop it onto the hot griddle, spacing the cachapas about 2 inches apart.
4. Cook for 2-3 minutes per side, or until the cachapas are golden brown and cooked through.
5. Serve the Venezuelan Sweet Corn Cachapas warm, drizzled with a creamy white sauce and garnished with fresh cilantro.
Notes
For a richer flavor, you can add a tablespoon of melted butter to the batter. The cachapas can be kept warm in a 200°F oven until ready to serve.
