Venezuelan Sweet Corn Pancakes or Cachapas
A corn pancake so easy and delicious that you’ll want to add to your recipe stash. This is a dish with aboriginal origins that has evolved to be part of the street food scene and ingrained food culture of Venezuela, it can be found in other Latin American countries such as Colombia, Nicaragua, Ecuador to name a few and it’s also known as Arepa de Choclo (Colombia) or Chorreadas (Costa rica) It shows the many uses of sweet corn other than grilled or boiled 🤔 and it’s super versatile, normally served with a mozzarella-like type of fresh cheese (queso de mano or telita), but I believe in its amazing potential so go ahead and serve it with roast pork, avocado and tomato salad, ham, and cheese, or pulled beef to make it a complete meal. Note: This Cachapas recipe is best made with fresh sweet corn, if not available I rather use frozen corn (completely thawed and squeeze excess water) adjust recipe by adding one extra egg and extra 1/3 c flour.
