About Chorreadas

Christa Jimenez’s sweet chorreadas represent Costa Rican corn pancakes served at food stands and festivals. This selected version uses yellow corn from a cooked cob, milk, flour and sugar.

The corn and sugar give the pancakes their sweet character, while milk enriches the batter. Natilla, the local sour cream, and honey are named traditional topping options.

The pancakes are large, round, moist and spongy. The publisher specifies warm service, with coffee as one possible accompaniment to the soft corn cakes.
