Ingredients

  • 1 cup warm water
  • 1 cup pre-cooked white corn meal (such as P.A.N.(R))
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 1 tablespoon butter
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt, or to taste
  • cooking spray

Method

  • Mix water, corn meal, mozzarella cheese, butter, and salt together in a large bowl. Knead until mixed well and the dough has a soft consistency. Form balls the size of a medium orange and place them between 2 sheets of plastic wrap. Flatten with a rolling pin to your desired thickness.
  • Cut the dough into circles using a cereal bowl or drinking glass, lip-down, through the plastic wrap. Remove the plastic wrap and remove excess dough.
  • Coat a griddle with cooking spray and heat to medium-high. Add arepas and grill until golden brown, about 5 minutes per side. Serve immediately.
