"The original recipe of chorreadas is a native indigenous recipe that only included fresh corn also known as elote. During the five years I lived in Costa Rica, one of my favorite Tico foods were the Chorreadas - pancake-like delights, made with fresh corn. You could find these everywhere, from the ones mass-produced for supermarkets (the ones at Walmart were the best!), to the corner Soda (or diner) where you could see the corn being hand ground. Unlike pancakes, these aren't eaten with syrup. Instead, a good dollop of natilla (like creme fraiche) does the job. Can't wait to make these! For a savory version of chorreadas, omit the sugar and add grated cheese on top of the chorreadas before turning them over."
