Ingredients
- 1 ½ cup milk 350 ml, or warm water
- 1 ¾ cup precooked corn flour 250 g.
- 1 teaspoon sugar
- 125 g. mozzarella cheese grated
- 70 g. costeño cheese grated
- 125 g. mozzarella cheese sliced
- 1 teaspoon butter or oil
Instructions
- Place the warm milk or water in a mixing bowl, add the sugar and dissolve. Then add the flour little by little. Stir first with a spoon, and then with your hands, until you have added all the corn flour.
- Then, add the grated mozzarella and the grated costeño cheese. Knead very well until the mixture is homogeneous and moldable.
- Divide the dough into four portions of the same size, and form balls.
- Then take the first ball in your hands, and sink it into the center, as if you wanted to make a bowl of dough. Place a small slice of mozzarella cheese in the center.
- Then, bring the edges together on top, sealing the arepa.
- Using your fingertips, gently fine-tune any details and make sure the arepa has an even shape
- Melt the butter in the pan where the arepas will be made and spread the butter over the entire surface. Then, place the arepas in the pan to cook, about five minutes on each side.
- Remove from the pan and eat immediately. If you wish, you can place an extra slice of cheese on top.
