Cachapas:
15 min 10 min prep
6 cachapas
4 cups tender corn kernels (canned corn may be used)
3 teaspoons salt
3/4-1 cup water (depending on how tender the corn is)
3/4 cup sugar
1. Mix all the ingredients in a blender.
2. The mix should become thick and heavy.
3. If not, add more corn or a few tablespoons of Jiffy Corn Muffins Mix (not gluten-free).
4. Shape the mix into small pancakes approximately 1/2 inch thick and about 5 inches in diameter.
5. Let them cook on medium heat for about one minute on each side, or until small bubbles form on the top.
6. Pancakes should be served hot, and may be accompanied with cheese (feta cheese is a good option).

don't follow the wikipedia recipe... I'm venezuelan and belive me, the answer above is better, try to imagine the cachapa as a pancake but instead of flour you have to use corn. and it's not that sweet. You can make better cachapas if you don't use much milk, to do this you have to use tender corn... the corn will give you the water the recipe need... But if it is difficult to pour use milk...
The queso de mano, is a traditional cheese here in Venezuela, but you can use any salty white cheese, the idea is to grate it over the cachapa ad if you want you fold it, and eat it like that, with the cheese inside... fried pork is optional
