Arepas with Butter and Maple Syrup

January 19, 2011 by athomewithrebecka 8 Comments

Jump to Recipe Print Recipe
Arepas

Butter oozing down a pile of hot corn-cakes mingled with the sweet fragrant flavor of Maple...Yum!  It's Arepas for breakfast!!!  There are so many ways to prepare Arepas.  These small corn-cakes are sold in Venezuelan restaurants called areperías and are stuffed with all manner of fillings like a sandwich. 

Arepas with Butter and Maple Syrup

I will eat them stuffed with soft salty cheese or filled with black beans and rice and a few diced jalapenos but, I love them drenched in butter and covered in maple syrup....drool, all the components of a perfect comfort food breakfast!

Throw some butter in a pan mix up some PAN flour and water and breakfast is served.  Drizzle maple syrup over the cakes and get ready for a taste sensation.  The crisp out side crust, versus the creamy middle complement each other perfectly.

Arepas with Butter and Maple Syrup

athomewithrebecka
The Arepa is a flat, round corn meal disc that can be cut open to form a pocket and prepared with different types of fillings. It’s similar to the pita in shape, but the Arepa is prepared by mixing dry corn meal with water and salt (and occasionally oil, butter, eggs, and/or milk). The mixture blends neatly to form a corn meal dough. After being kneaded and shaped into balls, the dough is flattened and shaped into discs, and the discs are then fried, grilled, or baked.

    Hi City Share, thanks for stopping by today! PAN corn meal is extremely fine ground corn, almost like corn flour. You can it in most neighborhood markets. It comes in a small bright yellow and blue package...you can see a photo at my link to Arepas Con Philadelphia Queso. Regular corn meal is delicious but won't work to make Arepas. I hop you try making Arepas, they are delightfully delicious!

    Those look fabulous. Between the description and the photo my mouth is watering. I'm not familiar with PAN cornflour. Is it the same as corn meal? Thanks for the inspiration.
