Instructions: In the bowl of a food processor fitted with the metal blade, puree the corn with milk, sugar, salt, pepper, egg, and cornmeal. The batter should be the consistency of a thick pancake batter.

Heat a large nonstick saute pan over low heat. Add 1 tablespoon butter. When the butter has melted and is hot, add batter, forming 3-inch rounds. Cook for 2 minutes, turn, and cook for 2 minutes more. Remove from pan and set aside.

Repeat process with remaining butter and batter. The cachapas may be made 2 hours in advance and kept uncovered at room temperature. They may be reheated in a 350 degree oven until heated through.
