Ingredients

The following ingredients have 5 Servings
  • 2 cups fresh corn kernels OR
  • 2 cups cooked cream-style corn
  • 1 egg
  • 1/4 cup milk or half and half
  • 3/4 to 1 cups masa harina
  • 1/2 teaspoon Lawry\'s seasoned salt (see note)
  • Neutral oil, for frying

Instruction

  • In a mixing bowl, combine corn, egg, milk and seasoned salt. Stir to mix.
  • Add enough masa harina to make a thick dough. Think sugar cookie dough in consistency.
  • Heat 3 tablespoons or so of oil in a skillet over medium high heat.
  • Scoop up about 1/4 cup of arepa mixture, make a ball, and flatten in your palms to about 1/4 inch thick.
  • Fry on both sides until golden, and drain on paper towels on a rack.
  • NOTE: Lawry's Seasoned Salt is my go-to seasoning. It has salt, celery powder and paprika that I can identify, and I'm not certain what else. If you prefer to come up with your own seasoning blends, season these however best works for you!
