Arepitas de harina de Maíz (corn fritters)

Arepitas de Maíz…Ahhhh! So good.

A simple finger food made with cornmeal, eggs, butter, milk, sugar and salt. Some people like to add anise.

Where’s my coffee?

Here’s the recipe.

  • 2 cups of Cornmeal
  • 1 1/4 cup of milk
  • 2 teaspoons of sugar
  • 1 teaspoon of salt
  • 1 teaspoon of unsalted butter
  • 1 egg
  • anise (optional)
  • Oil for frying

Preparation:

Mix the dry ingredients and set aside.

Heat the milk with the butter and add to the cornmeal mixture. Make a dough and let it cool completely.

Once cool, add the egg and mix well.

In a frying pan, heat the oil over medium-high heat.

Drop the dough one spoonful at a time and fry until golden brown.

Transfer to a plate with paper towels to absorb the extra oil.

Serve hot.

XO,

Johanny
