These cheesy corn cakes are incredibly easy to make- just drop the batter onto the skillet and cook until golden brown. Inspired by Venezuelan arepas, these cakes will melt in your mouth with each bite.

Ingredients

Directions

  1. Finely grind cornmeal in blender, 1/4 cup at a time. Transfer to large bowl. Mix in cheese, 2 tablespoons butter and salt. Add enough boiling water to mixture to make very thick batter. Stir in corn. 
  2. Heat griddle or large skillet over medium heat with some of remaining melted butter. Working in batches and using 1 tablespoon batter for each corn cake, drop batter onto skillet and cook until golden brown and cooked through, about 3 minutes per side. Serve hot.
