Ingredients
- 1 2/3 cups pre-cooked white cornmeal masarepa
- 3/4 teaspoon kosher salt
- 2 cups warm water
- 3/4 cup shredded cheese optional
- vegetable oil as needed for cooking
Instructions
- In a large bowl, mix the pre-cooked white cornmeal and salt. Gradually add warm water, stirring constantly, until the mixture is smooth and no lumps remain. If using, work in the shredded cheese.
- Cover the bowl with a clean cloth and let the dough rest for 10 minutes to hydrate the cornmeal.
- Divide the dough into 6 equal portions. Form each into a ball, then flatten into a disk about 1/2 inch thick. Heat a skillet over medium heat and lightly oil.
- Cook the arepas for about 5 to 7 minutes on each side or until they are golden brown and have a slightly crispy surface.
