Venezuela Cachapas: Ana Gabriella Viso Betz’s Cachapas Recipe

4 cups corn kernels (if frozen thaw) – becomes 3 cups when ground

3tsp salt

¾ cup sugar

¾ to 1 cup water (room temp)

Shredded white cheese - mozzarella is an okay substitute

In blender of food processor puree corn kernels.  Add salt and sugar.  Add water, a bit at a time until desired consistency. It should be thick and not runny.  Poor batter into a pan and spread it out until it’s about 5 inches across.  Cook until top seems dry and then flip it over and put a small handful of cheese on top.  When cheese is melted fold cachapa over to make a half moon sandwich and remove from pan.
