Traditionally enjoyed as a breakfast item or side dish, chorreadas are often served with a variety of toppings, including sour cream, fresh cheese, or even a drizzle of honey, making them a versatile and appetizing choice any time of day. Originating from the rich agricultural lands of Costa Rica, these pancakes reflect the country's love for fresh, local ingredients and its vibrant culinary traditions.

Servings: 4

Ingredients

Fresh corn kernels
2 cups
Eggs
2 large
All-purpose flour
1 cup
Granulated sugar
2 tablespoons
Salt
1/2 teaspoon
Unsalted butter
3 tablespoons, for cooking
Sour cream or fresh cheese
for serving (optional)
Honey or syrup
for drizzling (optional)

Instructions

  1. In a blender, combine the fresh corn kernels and eggs. Blend until smooth and creamy.
  2. In a separate mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, and salt until well combined.
  3. Pour the corn-egg mixture into the dry ingredients and stir gently until just combined. Do not overmix; a few lumps are okay.
  4. Heat 1 tablespoon of unsalted butter in a large skillet over medium heat until melted and bubbling.
  5. Pour 1/4 cup of the batter into the skillet for each pancake. Cook until the edges are set and the bottom is golden brown, about 2 minutes.
  6. Carefully flip the pancake and cook for an additional 2 minutes, until the other side is golden brown.
  7. Repeat the process with the remaining batter, adding more butter to the skillet as needed.
  8. Serve the chorreadas warm, topped with sour cream, fresh cheese, or a drizzle of honey or syrup as desired.
