Ingredients
- 1 1/4 cup water warm
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup pre-cooked white cornmeal Harina Blanca brand
- 1 cup cheddar cheese grated
- 1 cup corn kernel cooked
- 1/2 cup butter for frying
Instructions
- Place the water and salt in a large mixing bowl. Slowly stir in the Harina Blanca until it has evenly absorbed all the water. Fold in the cheese and corn.
- Form dough into golf-ball-sized spheres, then use your hands to pat them into a disk shape about 1/2 inch thick.
- Melt the butter on a large griddle set over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the formed corn patties and fry for 3-4 minutes per side, until golden brown.
- Transfer the cooked arepas to a paper towel-lined plate and sprinkle with salt. Serve warm.

Notes
- Store leftover arepas in an airtight container in the refrigerator; they'll stay good for up to 5 days. To freeze, wrap each arepa individually in plastic wrap and they'll last for about a month in your freezer.
- To reheat, you can either warm them in a skillet over medium heat until heated through or microwave for a minute or two. If frozen, thaw in the refrigerator overnight before reheating.
