Fresh Corn Arepas

Ingredients

  • 4 medium ears corn or substitute 1 1/2 cups frozen corn kernels plus 1 T. milk
  • 3/4 C. cornmeal
  • 1 teaspoon light brown sugar
  • 1/4 C. butter, softened

Instructions

(Arepas de Choclo - Venezuela). If using fresh ears of corn, cut kernels from the cobs with a knife or a corn kernel remover. Measure 1 1/2 cups corn kernels, reserving the extra for another use, and coarsely grind in a meat grinder or food processor. Pour the ground corn and its liquid into a large mixing bowl. If using defrosted corn kernels, coarsely grind in a meat grinder or food processor, then place the ground kernels in a large mixing bowl and ad the 1 tablespoon milk. Stir cornmeal and brown sugar into the ground kernels and their liquid. Mix in the butter thoroughly and stir the batter until it is smooth. Spoon 1/3 cup batter into the lightly buttered cups of a standard muffin pan (2 3/4 inches wide at the top). Bake in a preheated 425F oven until the arepas are lightly browned and have set, about 30 to 40 minutes. Serve warm with butter, cheese or Guacamole. Note: Brands of areparina, such as Goya, Iberia and Pan, are sold in South American markets in the United States. Extra-fine yellow cornmeal may be substituted.
