Instructions
- Step 1: In a blender, combine 2 cups fresh corn kernels, 1/4 cup all-purpose flour, 2 tbsp granulated sugar, 1/4 tsp salt, 1/2 cup whole milk, and 3 tbsp melted unsalted butter. Blend until smooth but still slightly textured, about 30 seconds.

- Step 3: Cook each pancake for 3-4 minutes until the edges are set and golden, then flip carefully and cook an additional 2-3 minutes until cooked through and golden on the other side.
- Step 4: Transfer the hot cachapas to a plate and immediately top each with 2 tbsp crumbled fresh white cheese and a drizzle of 1 tbsp honey.
- Step 5: Serve warm as a sweet and savory breakfast or dessert.
