Directions
Corn and Cheese Griddle Cakes (Arepas), These little Venezuelan griddle cakes, known as arepas in Spanish, can be eaten at any time of the day, topped with cheese, meat, chicken, or eggs You can top them with roast pork or a spoonful of pico de gallo as a delicious side or tempting appetizer You use nonstick cooking spray quite a bit for this, but I like to use an olive oil spritzer Enjoy!, I thought these were just ok I made exactly as is but they came out pretty dry The flavor was also a little bland Might make again with some adjustments Thanks!!, Wow, these were so tasty used a bit more corn, and I loved the texture it gave to the griddle cakes They tasted really good with salsa on top; thanks for sharing
