Directions:

  1. INGREDIENTS
  2. 2 cups masarepa blanca (10 ounces)
  3. 1 teaspoon salt
  4. 1 teaspoon baking powder
  5. 2 1/2 cups warm water
  6. 1/4 cup vegetable oil
  7. 1 recipe corn cake filling (see related recipes)
  8. INSTRUCTIONS
  9. 1. Adjust an oven rack to the middle position and heat the oven to 400 degrees. Whisk the masarepa, salt, and baking powder together in a medium bowl. Gradually add the water and stir to form a dough. Using a generous 1/3 cup of dough, form eight 3-inch rounds, each about 1/2 inch thick.
  10. 2. Heat 2 tablespoons of the oil in a 12-inch nonstick skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering. Add 4 of the arepas and cook until golden on both sides, about 4 minutes total. Transfer to a parchment paper–lined baking sheet and repeat with the remaining 2 tablespoons oil and the remaining 4 arepas. (The arepas can be refrigerated for up to 3 days, or frozen for up to 1 month in a zipper-lock bag).
  11. 3. Bake until the arepas sound hollow when tapped on the bottom, about 10 minutes. (If frozen, increase the baking time to 20 minutes.) Split the hot arepas open using a paring knife or 2 forks as if they were English muffins, and stuff each with a generous 3 tablespoons of the filling. Serve immediately.
