Keep an eye out for the Insta-worthy cheese pull on these Venezuelan corn pancakes that are often sold at roadside food stands. They’re usually made with fresh corn, but I’ve used frozen corn for ease; if you’d prefer to use fresh, just stand the husk up on a board and shave off the kernels with a big, sharp knife; don’t use tinned sweetcorn here, though, because it’s far too wet. If you like, make the pancakes and the cheese mixture up to 24 hours ahead, ready for stuffing the following day.

Ingredients

FOR THE PANCAKE BATTER
300g	frozen corn, defrosted
2	eggs
50g	plain flour
40g	masa harina, or fine semolina
1 tbsp	caster sugar
250ml	milk
	flaky sea salt
FOR THE FILLING
300g	firm/low-moisture mozzarella, roughly grated
180g	feta, finely crumbled
80g	spring onions, trimmed and finely sliced
1	fresh jalapeño chilli, finely chopped (discard the pith and seeds if you prefer less heat)
1 tsp	coriander seeds, roughly crushed
2 tbsp	olive oil
1	lime
2 tsp	runny honey

Method

Put all the batter ingredients in a blender, add a teaspoon of flaky salt and blitz smooth. Transfer to a bowl, cover with a tea towel and set aside for 15 minutes.
Meanwhile, put the two cheeses, spring onions, jalapeño and crushed coriander seeds in a bowl and mix well.
Put a medium, 18cm frying pan on a medium heat and, once hot, brush it with a little oil. Ladle in about 120ml of the batter, swirl the pan so the batter covers the base, then cook for three to four minutes, until the top is set and the bottom is deeply golden. Carefully flip over using a spatula, cook for another minute, then transfer to a large tray and repeat with the remaining batter, adding more oil to the pan as required.
Heat the oven to 200C (180C fan)/390F/gas 6. Put roughly 90g of the filling into one half of each pancake, fold over, return to the tray, then bake for 10 minutes, until the cheese has melted.
Finely grate the lime zest over the tops of the pancakes, then drizzle over the honey. Sprinkle a pinch of flaky salt on top, cut the zested lime into wedges and serve alongside the pancakes.
