Ingredients

  1. 2 cupscorn flour
  2. 1 tablespoonbrown sugar
  3. 1 cupwater
  4. Cheese(your choice)
  5. Ham(your choice)
  6. Olive oil (enough to deep fry)

Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    In a bowl mix one cup of water,two cups of corn flour, and 1 tablespoon of brown sugar. Mix everything together until the mixture has a dough consistency(see second image). The trick is for the dough to not stick on your hands. Thats when you know it’s ready.

  2. 2

    Heat up a frying pan with olive oil. Enough oil to cover the arepa when you put it in.

  3. 3

    Next, make round shape with your hands and deep fry them until they turn a gold color. (I would put the heat at a medium-hight). This should take about 3 minutes on each side.

  4. 4

    Once you strain them, let them sit for a couple minutes. You can now get a knife and cut it through the middle horizontal like a mini pita pocket. you can fill them up with anything you want meat, chicken, ham, cheese etc! In this case I put butter ham and cheese inside!
