The "rigua de elote" is a traditional dish of the gastronomy of Honduras and, to a lesser extent, of some regions of Nicaragua. It is a type of pancake or cake made from sweet corn dough (elote), which is mixed with other ingredients to form a thick dough that is cooked in a hot pan or griddle. Often, grated cheese or fresh cheese is added to the dough, giving it a unique flavor.

The corn rigua is characterized by its soft and creamy texture on the inside and a light crunchy layer on the outside. Its flavor is bittersweet due to tender corn and cheese, and it is highly appreciated in Honduran cuisine.

The preparation of corn rigua involves the following steps:

1. Grinding corn: Young corn is shelled and ground until obtaining a fine dough.

2. Mix with other ingredients: Sugar, grated cheese or fresh cheese, salt and sometimes a little butter or margarine are added to the corn dough to give it flavor and softness.

3. Cooking in the pan or griddle: The dough is placed in a hot pan and cooked until golden and crispy on the outside, while the inside is soft and creamy.

Rigua de elote is traditionally served as a tasty snack in Honduras and is eaten alone or with accompaniments such as cream, tomato sauce, or even additional grated cheese. It is a traditional delicacy enjoyed during holidays, celebrations and special occasions, as well as in everyday life as a delicious treat.
