These thin, sweet corn griddle cakes are a breakfast staple and popular street food in Venezuela. Tender on the inside, crispy on the outside – they’re delicious with just a pat of butter, or use them as a vessel for other ingredients. Fold in melty cheese, Pulled Pork or Instant Pot Pulled Chicken.
