Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Blend the sweet corn, large egg, all-purpose flour, salt, and granulated sugar in a blender until mostly smooth, retaining some corn texture.
  2. Preheat a large skillet over medium heat and add vegetable oil. Heat until shimmering.
  3. Spoon approximately 60 ml of batter onto the skillet, spreading it into a round shape about ¼ inch thick. Cook for 3-4 minutes until golden brown before flipping.
  4. Once golden, place buffalo mozzarella cheese slices in the center, fold the cachapa in half, and let residual heat melt the cheese.
  5. Transfer to a plate, top with unsalted butter, and serve warm.
