    Instructions

    Ingredients

    • 5 tablespoons unsalted butter, divided
    • 2 ½ cups precooked white cornmeal
    • 1 teaspoon kosher salt
    • 3 cups hot water
    • 3 tablespoons canola oil, divided

    Steps

      1. Melt butter. Combine in large bowl: cornmeal, salt, hot water, and 2 tablespoons melted butter; mix well. Let dough stand 2 minutes to hydrate. Form dough into 20 equal balls, then flatten balls into discs.
      2. Heat large, nonstick sauté pan on medium 2–3 minutes. Place 1 tablespoon each butter and oil in pan. Add 6–8 arepas; cook 4–5 minutes on each side until lightly golden and cooked through. Repeat with remaining butter, oil, and arepas; serve warm.
