Step-by-Step Instructions
- Blend the fresh corn, egg, milk, butter, cornflour, all-purpose flour, sugar, and salt together in a blender until smooth and thick, resembling pancake batter.
- Preheat a nonstick skillet over medium heat for 3-4 minutes. Drizzle with oil to coat the surface.
- Pour a ladle of batter onto the skillet, spreading it into a circular shape about 4-5 inches in diameter. Cook for 2-3 minutes until edges are set and bubbles form on the surface.
- Flip the cachapa carefully once bubbles form, revealing a golden-brown color on the cooked side.
- Add sliced jalapeños on top of the cachapa before flipping if desired, and cook for another minute until jalapeños are tender.
- Place a generous amount of shredded mozzarella on one half of the flipped cachapa and fold the other half over the cheese. Cook for 1-2 minutes until the cheese melts.
- Remove from skillet and repeat the process with the remaining batter, adding oil as necessary.
- Serve cachapas warm, ideally right off the skillet, with a dollop of sour cream or yogurt.
Notes
Cachapas are best when served immediately after cooking for optimal flavor and texture. Experiment with different fillings and toppings to suit your taste.
