For a richer flavor, try using fresh corn kernels instead of canned. Simply cut the kernels off the cob and measure out the equivalent amount. Experiment with different toppings! Queso fresco, shredded pork, black beans, or even a drizzle of honey are all fantastic options. If you don't have masa harina, you can substitute it with all-purpose flour, but the texture may be slightly different. Cachapas are best enjoyed immediately while they are still warm and slightly crisp.

StepIn a blender, combine the drained corn, milk, egg, masa harina, sugar, and salt. (Prep time: ~5 minutes)
