Arepas (Corn Griddle Cakes)
A popular snack in Colombia, Venezuela, Panama, and many other Hispanic countries. Serve with toppings like cheese, salsa, cream cheese, and butter. I prefer to melt cheese on mine during cooking, making them extra delicious!
Ingredients
- 2 cups warm water
- 2 cups pre-cooked cornmeal
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 tablespoon butter, or as needed
Instructions
- Combine water, cornmeal, and salt in a bowl. Mix together and let sit until water is absorbed, about 5 minutes. Form dough into patties about 5 inches across and 1/2-inch thick.
- Coat a griddle with butter. Cook patties, one at a time, over medium-high heat until lightly browned, about 3 minutes per side.
