Traditional Venezuelan Cachapa Recipe

Cachapa is a typical Venezuela dish that conquers anyone with its sweet taste and unique texture.Similar to a pancake, it is mainly made with corn and usually served with cheese or butter.It is an excellent option for breakfast or afternoon snack.Let's learn to do?

### Ingredients:
- 2 cups of fresh or frozen green corn
- 2 tablespoons of sugar
- 2 tablespoons of melted butter
- 1/2 teaspoon of salt
- 1/2 cup milk (adjusting as needed to get a homogeneous mixture)
- 1/2 cup wheat flour (optional to give more consistency)
- Fresh cheese (type mozzarella, feta or the traditional "bro" if available)

### Preparation:

1. ** Preparing the corn: **
- If using fresh corn, remove the grains from the ear.If you are using frozen corn, defrost before use.

2. ** Mixing the ingredients: **
- In a blender, put corn, sugar, melted butter, salt and half the milk.Beat until a homogeneous mixture.Add the remaining milk gradually, until the dough gets a slightly more liquid consistency than that of a cake pasta.
- If the dough is too liquid, add some wheat flour to thicken.

3. ** Cooking the Cachadas: **
- Heat a nonstick skillet over medium heat and grease with a little butter or oil.
- Pour a small shell of the dough into the hot frying pan, spreading slightly to form a circle.
- Cook for about 2 to 3 minutes on each side or until golden.The cachap should be golden on the outside, but still a little soft inside.

4. ** Stuffing and Service: **
- Put a generous slice of fresh cheese over the still hot cachapa, allowing it to melt a little with the residual heat.
- Fold the cachapa in half over the cheese, like a club, and serve immediately.

### Tips:

- For a more authentic flavor, try to find "Queso de Mano", typical of Venezuela.
