Venezuelan Corn Pancakes (Cachapas) image

A delicious way to eat a healthy breakfast or supper, it's my own version, because instead of using sugar I add Splenda and light maple syrup. These are mouthwatering corn pancakes and they don't have flour. Really low fat, low calorie and they are my favorite food!Try them and let me know!

Time 35m

Yield 8-10 corn pancakes, 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 6

4 cups fresh corn kernels (6 to 8 ears of corn)
3 teaspoons salt
3/4 cup Splenda sugar substitute
1/4 cup light maple syrup
1 cup skim milk, depending on how tender the corn is
cooking spray

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.

Number Of Ingredients 8

5 ears corn, shucked
1/4 cup milk
2 tablespoons sugar
1/2 teaspoon coarse salt
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground pepper
1 large egg
3/4 cup finely ground cornmeal
4 tablespoons unsalted butter

Steps:

  • In the bowl of a food processor fitted with the metal blade, puree the corn with milk, sugar, salt, pepper, egg, and cornmeal. The batter should be the consistency of a thick pancake batter.
  • Heat a large nonstick saute pan over low heat. Add 1 tablespoon butter. When the butter has melted and is hot, add batter, forming 3-inch rounds. Cook for 2 minutes, turn, and cook for 2 minutes more. Remove from pan and set aside. Repeat process with remaining butter and batter. The cachapas may be made 2 hours in advance and kept uncovered at room temperature. They may be reheated in a 350-degree oven until heated through.
