   • In a blender, combine the corn kernels, salt, water, and sugar.
   • Blend until smooth and creamy, ensuring the mixture becomes thick and heavy. This should take just a few minutes to achieve the perfect consistency.

2. Adjust if Needed:

   • If the mixture is too thin, consider adding more corn or a few tablespoons of Jiffy Corn Muffins Mix (not gluten-free) to thicken it up. Adjust according to your desired consistency.

3. Shape and Size:

   • Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat.
   • Take a ladleful of the corn mixture and pour it onto the skillet, shaping it into small pancakes approximately 1/2 inch thick and about 5 inches in diameter. You can make multiple cachapas at once depending on the size of your skillet.

4. Cook to Golden Perfection:

   • Let the cachapas cook for about one minute on each side, or until small bubbles start to form on the top.
   • Flip them carefully using a spatula, ensuring they are evenly cooked to a beautiful golden brown on both sides.

5. Serve Hot and Enjoy:

   • Serve the cachapas hot off the skillet, allowing the sweet aroma of corn to tantalize your senses.
   • For an extra indulgent touch, serve them with a generous sprinkling of crumbled feta cheese on top. The salty tang of the cheese perfectly complements the sweetness of the cachapas.
