3. Add the precooked yellow corn meal and all-purpose flour to the blender and blend until just incorporated
4. Heat a non-stick pan over medium low heat.rnOnce heated put in the middle of the pan about 1/4 tsp of butter. Spread it around just a bit and put a little less than a 1/4 cup of batter on top of it. With the help of a spoon spread the batter until it is about 4 inches in diameter.
5. Cook for 2 minutes or until the cachapas are golden crispy on the edges and have set enough that they can be flip. They should have a deep brown color. Cook on the other side for another minute.
