CACHAPAS (VENEZUELAN CORN PANCAKES)
These sweet corn pancakes are a breakfast staple in Venezuela. You can have them with just butter, but they're amazing sandwiched with some soft, melty cheese between two of them. Think: elote meets breakfast. Cachapas are very delicate, so be sure to flatten the center of the pancake when you scoop the batter into the pan. You'll be on your way to a slightly charred, salty and sweet breakfast treat.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 200 degrees F.
- Add the crema, half of the corn, eggs, sugar and salt to a blender and blend until the mixture is evenly combined but still chunky. Add the arepa flour and the remaining corn, then blend until a thick, even batter forms with pieces of corn still visible. Let the batter sit a couple of minutes.
- Meanwhile, heat a large nonstick skillet or a griddle over medium heat until warm and spray generously with cooking spray. Add two 1/4-cup scoops of the batter, spacing them apart, to form 2 pancakes. Smooth each out with the back of your measuring cup to form a 5-inch-wide pancake, making sure the center is thin and flat -- the center takes longer to cook and if mounded will make the pancake much harder to flip. Cook until the bottoms are dark brown, almost black, about 5 minutes. While the pancakes cook, shred or slice your cheese, if necessary.
- Flip the pancakes and top one of them with a quarter of the cheese. Cook until the cheese melts, about 3 minutes, then top the cheese with the second pancake. Transfer to a baking sheet and keep warm in the oven.
- Make more cachapas with the remaining batter and cheese, wiping out the previous oil and spraying the skillet or griddle generously with cooking spray for each batch. Once all of the cachapas are filled with cheese, top each with a half tablespoon of butter and serve with crema on the side, for dipping.

Steps:
- Add fresh corn, egg, milk, corn flour, sugar, and salt in a blender and blend until a thick paste form. Let stand for about 10 minutes for the mixture to thicken. (If your mixture is still too thin, add a little more masa harina or flour to thicken it to a spoon-able consistency.)
- Preheat a 5-1/2 inch frying pan, over medium heat.
- When the pan is hot, add some butter to grease it.
- Pour 1/3 cup of batter into the frying pan, making a circle around the pan.
- Cook for 4-5 minutes and flip with a spatula. Cook for 3 more minutes until the cachapa is golden brown.
- Place sliced mozzarella on one half of the cachapa and let it melt. Fold the other half over the cheese and spread some butter on top. These are best if served hot, straight from the skillet.

CACHAPAS: VENEZUELAN CORN CAKE
Steps:
- Gather the ingredients.
- Place the corn, cream, salt, melted butter, and cornstarch (if using) in a food processor or blender. Process until you have a fairly smooth, thick batter.
- Heat a lightly oiled skillet over medium-low heat.
- Add about 1/4 to 1/3 cup of the batter to a skillet. Spread it with a spatula to make a circle.
- Cook the pancake until it starts to bubble and the spatula can easily slide underneath it.
- Flip the pancake and cook for several minutes on the other side. Keep the temperature on the low side, or the outside of the pancakes will burn before the inside is completely cooked.
- Continue cooking pancakes until you have used all the batter.
- Spread the pancakes with butter and cream cheese or top with grated queso fresco cheese .
- Fold the pancakes in half and serve. Enjoy!

Steps:
- If the corn is frozen, thaw it completely.
- Whether the corn is frozen, canned or fresh, drain it well and place it in the bowl of a blender.
- Add the milk, cornmeal, sugar and salt to the blender and blend for just a few seconds so that the mixture is a little homogeneous but it is also important that it stays somewhat lumpy.
- Add 1 tablespoon of melted butter and the eggs and blend again for a few seconds.
- The texture should be quite crumbly, so rectify it if necessary: all types of corn do not have the same amount of liquid, if necessary add 1 to 2 tablespoons of all-purpose flour and mix again for a few seconds until obtaining a thick mixture, which can be poured into a pan with a ladle.
- Place the batter in a container, cover it and let it rest in the refrigerator for an hour.
- Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat.
- Brush the bottom of the skillet with melted butter.
- Pour in a ladle of batter and spread it quickly with a spatula into a circle of about 6 inches (15 cm) in diameter and ¼ inch (½ cm) thick.
- Wait for bubbles and holes to appear on the surface (about 2 to 3 minutes), before turning over the cachapa very gently using a large spatula. Cook again for 2 to 3 minutes and gently place it on a plate using a large spatula.
- Repeat the operation until the batter is used up.
- As the cachapas cook, place a portion of cheese inside and fold them in half.
- Brush the cachapas with a little melted butter.
- Serve and enjoy hot.

JIMMY'S CACHAPAS
I was looking for a recipe for cachapas one day so my husband could have some. He lived in Venezuela for a couple years and this was one of his favorite foods. He said they served these with a thick slice of either jack or mozzarella cheese. Anyway, I found this online and it's from Jimmy's Bronx Cafe.

- In a food processor, pulse the corn until a thick, coarse puree forms. Add the masa, egg yolks, salt, sugar, black pepper and cayenne and pulse until well combined. Scrape the cachapa batter into a bowl.
- In a large nonstick skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of the oil. Scoop 3 slightly heaping ½-cup mounds of batter into the skillet and spread them into 4- to 5-inch rounds. Cover and cook over moderate heat until the tops are set and the edges are beginning to brown, about 6 minutes. Carefully flip the cachapas, cover and cook until browned on both sides and a skewer inserted in the middle of each one comes out clean, about 6 minutes. (Reduce the heat to moderately low if the cachapas brown too quickly.)
- Sprinkle each cachapa with 2 tablespoons of the mozzarella and 1 tablespoon of the queso fresco, cover and cook until the cheese is melted, about 3 minutes. Top each cachapa with a few jalapeño slices and 1 tablespoon of cilantro, then carefully fold them in half and transfer to a platter. Keep warm. Wipe out the skillet and repeat to make 3 more cachapas.
- Sprinkle the cachapas with the remaining 6 tablespoons of queso fresco and 2 tablespoons of cilantro and serve with lime wedges.
