Step 1
Blend corn, flour, sugar, and baking powder until the mixture is chunky (not smooth). The batter should hold some corn texture.
Step 2
Slice cheese into 6 pieces about the size of a matchbox.
Step 3
Warm butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once it foams, scoop a quarter of the batter and spread it into a 4-inch disk.
Step 4
Place one cheese slice in the center. Top with another quarter batter scoop, press gently to seal edges, and fry 3–4 minutes until golden.
Step 5
Flip carefully and fry the other side 2–3 minutes until golden and cheese inside melts. Transfer to a plate.
Step 6
Repeat with remaining batter and cheese to make 2 more cachapas. Serve warm.
