Ingredients
- 2 cups fresh or frozen sweet corn kernels
- 1 cup masarepa (pre-cooked corn flour)
- 1/4 cup milk (or water)
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 2 tablespoons butter (melted, optional)
- Cheese (shredded, for filling, optional)
Instructions
- 1If using frozen corn, thaw and drain the corn kernels. If using fresh corn, blend just half of the kernels in a food processor until coarsely pureed, keeping the other half whole.
- 2In a large bowl, combine the blended corn, whole corn kernels, masarepa, milk or water, salt, baking powder, and melted butter if using. Mix until a dough forms.
- 3Divide the dough into small balls (about the size of a golf ball).
- 4Flatten each ball into a disc about 1/2 inch thick.
- 5Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Place the arepas on the skillet and cook for about 5-7 minutes on each side, until golden brown and cooked through.
- 6If desired, during the last few minutes of cooking, sprinkle cheese on top of an arepa, cover with a lid to melt the cheese.
- 7Serve warm, either plain or with butter, cheese, or your favorite toppings.
