Description

Delicious cachapas made with sweet corn and melted buffalo mozzarella.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups Sweet Corn (Fresh is best, but canned or frozen can be used.)
  • 1 large Egg (Binds the ingredients together.)
  • 1 cup All-Purpose Flour (Can substitute with gluten-free flour.)
  • 1/2 teaspoon Salt (Enhances flavor.)
  • 2 tablespoons Granulated Sugar (Adds sweetness.)
  • 2 tablespoons Vegetable Oil (For frying; use preferred frying oil.)
  • 200 grams Buffalo Mozzarella Cheese (Fresh for best melt.)
  • 2 tablespoons Unsalted Butter (Optional for richness.)

Instructions

  1. In a blender, combine fresh corn, egg, flour, salt, and sugar, blending until mostly smooth but with some texture.
  2. Preheat a non-stick skillet over medium heat for 3-4 minutes. Drizzle vegetable oil to cover the surface.
  3. Pour approximately 60 ml of the batter into the skillet for each cachapa, cooking for 3-4 minutes until golden brown.
  4. Once flipped, place buffalo mozzarella cheese on one half of the cachapa and allow it to melt for 2-3 minutes.
  5. Fold the cachapa in half to encase the cheese and serve hot, optionally topped with unsalted butter.

Notes

  • Cooking time may vary based on the thickness of the cachapas.
