Ingredients
  

  • cup 319 g sweet corn kernels
  • 1 cup 150 g pre-cooked cornmeal
  • 3 tbsp sugar (brown or white)
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1 cup 100 g shredded mozzarella cheese (optional)
  • 1½ - 2 cups 360 - 480 ml milk
  • 2 tbsp melted butter
  • Butter (to grill the arepas)
  • Mozzarella slices (optional)

Instructions
 

  • Blend the corn in a blender or food processor until you get a puree. Set aside.
  • In a large bowl, mix the pre-cooked cornmeal, sugar, salt, mozzarella cheese, milk, the blended corn and melted butter. Start with 1½ cup of milk and then add more if you see that the batter is too thick.
  • Melt 1-2 tsp of butter in a large pan on medium heat and then pour about ¼-½ cup of the corn batter, depending on how big you want the arepas. Flatten them on top and then shape them into a circle with the help of a spatula. Grill them for 5-7 minutes per side or until they're golden brown. During the last 2 minutes of cooking, you can place 1-2 slices of mozzarella cheese on top so that it has time to melt. Serve immediately.
