Arepas

• 1 cup yellow cornmeal
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 cup grated cheddar cheese
• 1 cup milk
• 2 tablespoons butter, plus more for serving
• 1/2 cup corn kernel (fresh or frozen)
• 3 tablespoons corn oil

1. Put the cornmeal in a food processor and grind until fine.
2. Put the cornmeal in a large bowl with the salt and cheese.
3. In a small saucepan heat the milk over medium heat until it comes to a steady simmer.
4. Add the butter to the pan and stir until melted.
5. Take pan off the heat and add to the cornmeal mixture to form a thick batter.
6. Fold in the corn kernels.
7. Let the batter rest about 15 minutes to thicken into a soft dough.
8. Form 1 inch balls from the dough and flatten with the palm of your hand into 1/4 inch thick disks.
9. Heat the oil in a large skillet and cook the arepas until golden brown, about 5 minutes on the first side and 3 minutes on the other, working in batches until done.
10. Serve hot with butter.
