Ingredients

  • 2.4 cups (500 g) corn flour for arepas
  • 1.2 tsp salt
  • 0.6 cup (140 g) grated white cheese
  • 2.4 cups (500 g) cool water (or more if needed)

Directions

  1. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, salt, and white cheese. Stir in enough water to make a firm, slightly moist dough.
  2. Cover the dough and let it rest for 5 minutes.
  3. Divide the dough into 10 pieces and form each piece into a ball. Flatten the ball slightly.
  4. Preheat the oven to 350 °F (180 °C).
  5. Oil a griddle very lightly and warm it over medium heat. Cook the arepas on the griddle for about 5 minutes on each side, until a golden brown crust forms.
  6. Transfer the arepas to a baking sheet and bake 20–25 minutes, turning them several times as they bake.
  7. Serve immediately, with cheese, ham and black beans.
