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:
- 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.

Steps:
- With a knife, remove the corn kernels from the cobs. Put the corn kernels and the other ingredients in the food processor and process. You must get a pancake-like consistency, not too thick.
- Preheat your griddle or a non-stick fry pan to medium high heat and lightly grease it with oil spray. Measure about half cup of the mixture and spread it with a round spoon over the pan until you get a circle of about 4 to 5 inches of diameter.
- When the surface starts to bubble, turn it over with a spatula and cook it on the other side. Each side takes about 2 minutes, depending on the thickness.
- Fill them with fresh cheese,in Venezuela, we fill them with "queso de mano" which is a white fresh cheese, delicious, but you could use for example a low fat soft white cheese or anything you want like nonfat slices of turkey or ham. Or even non-sugar jam Or no-fat cream cheese, ricotta, -- anything you want.
