Comment préparer Arepas
- In a large bowl, combine 2 cups of masa harina, 1/4 cup melted margarine, 1 teaspoon salt, and 1 cup of crumbled cottage cheese.
- Gradually add 1 1/2 cups of hot water (approximately 160°F), kneading well after each addition. The mixture should resemble soft playdough.
- Once the dough is smooth and pliable, pinch off portions roughly the size of golf balls.
- Place each dough ball between two sheets of plastic wrap or parchment paper. Using a rolling pin or your hands, flatten into 1/4-inch thick circles.
- Heat a lightly oiled griddle or large skillet over medium heat. Cook the arepas for about 3-4 minutes per side, or until lightly browned and cooked through. Make sure to cook on medium heat to avoid burning.
- Serve immediately with a pat of butter and crumbled queso fresco. Enjoy!
