PREPARATION
1.
Bring the milk to a boil in a small pan.
2.
Add the five tablespoons of butter. Let stand.
3.
Grind one cup frozen yellow corn kernels in a food processor.
4.
In a large bowl, mix the arepa flour, salt, and sugar.
5.
Make a well in the center and gradually add the hot milk. Stir until there are no lumps. Work the dough until it is smooth and slightly sticky.
6.
Add corn flour as necessary if the dough is too thin. The dough needs to be thick enough to roll out.
7.
Stir in the ground frozen corn and the shredded mozzarella cheese.
8.
Use a rolling pin to roll out the dough between two sheets of wax paper to about 1/2" thickness.
9.
Cut out arepas with a large cookie cutter- about 3 inches in diameter. (A small straight edged bowl will work.)
10.
Heat a lightly buttered griddle on medium. Cook the arepas in batches until crispy and golden brown on each side.
11.
Immediately place a slice of cheese on one arepa and cover with another to make a sandwich.
12.
Heat on griddle until cheese melts. Serve immediately.
NOTES, TIPS, TRICKS, HINTS, ETC:
1.
For easier rolling, refrigerate the dough for one hour.
2.
IMPORTANT: Do NOT use corn meal. You must use corn FLOUR.
