Steps:
- In a large bowl, combine the Masarapa, water, and salt until fully combined. Pack the mixture together and allow it to rest for 5 minutes. Meanwhile, preheat a large castiron skillet with vegetable oil.
- Measure out 1/4 cup-sized portions and roll into a ball with your hands, then gently press and shape them into discs that are about 1/2 inch thick.
- Place the discs in the hot oil and allow them to cook over low heat until they begin to turn golden brown/black. Flip and repeat, adding additional oil as needed so they don't stick.
- If you want to slice them in half, you'll want to bake them for about 10 minutes at 350F on a large baking sheet. Enjoy hot.

HOMEMADE AREPAS
It was at a New York City hole-in-the-wall eatery where I first fell in love with a stuffed white corn cake. Halfway through my first arepa, one stuffed with black beans, beef, plantains, and salty cheese, I vowed to learn how to make these at home. It's a truly magnificent delivery system for any number of your favorite fillings. I went with some spicy pork and avocado, but I made a version a few days later stuffed with caramelized plantains and salty goat feta.

Steps:
- Stir water and salt together in a bowl. Gradually stir corn meal into water with your fingers until mixture forms a soft, moist, malleable dough.
- Divide dough into 8 golf ball-size balls and pat each one into a patty about 3/8-inch thick.
- Heat oil in a skillet over medium heat until shimmering. Working in batches, cook corn patties in hot oil until golden brown, 4 to 5 minutes per side. Transfer cooked arepas to a paper towel-lined plate to drain until cool enough to handle.
- Slice halfway through each cake horizontally with a thin serrated knife to form a pita-like pocket.

Steps:
- Bring milk to a simmer in a pot. Remove from heat and stir in butter.
- Combine arepas flour, grated Monterey Jack cheese, kosher salt, and black pepper in a large bowl. Add the hot milk mixture and honey; stir until combined. Let mixture sit until milk is absorbed enough for a soft dough to form, 1 to 2 minutes. Dough will continue to stiffen.
- Form dough into 12 balls about 2 inches in diameter. Flatten between palms into 3 1/2- to 4-inch arepa patties about 1/3-inch thick.
- Heat oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Fry 3 to 4 arepas at a time until lightly golden brown, about 3 minutes per side. Slice each arepa in half crosswise and stuff a portion of chicken, sliced Monterey Jack cheese, and avocado between the halves.

- Prepare the filling. To make the arepa filling, squeeze the avocado with your hands to mash it but leave some bits and pieces. Then, blend all the filling ingredients together to combine.
- Mix the salt and dry precooked cornmeal. Mix the salt into the dry precooked cornmeal. Use your hands here! There is no a set rule for how to make the masa—some people add the water first, but I add the salt.
- Add warm water. Slowly, add 2-1/2 cups of warm water to the cornmeal while mixing with your hand. In order to prevent lumps, keep mixing for 3 to 4 minutes.
- Knead the dough. Once you have a dough, knead for about 3 to 4 more minutes.
- Form a smooth ball. Shape the dough into a ball. Cover it with plastic wrap, cheesecloth or a clean, damp towel and let it rest for about 5 minutes.
- Form smaller dough balls. Pull off pieces of the larger ball to form smaller balls. For each arepa, you want a ball that weighs 5 to 5-1/2 ounces.
- Flatten the arepa. In order to prevent the dough from sticking to your hands, use the reserved water to wet your hands lightly. Flatten the ball of masa between the palms of your hands until it reaches the desired thickness of 1/2 to 3/4 inches all around.
- Grill the arepas. Place the arepas on a preheated and lightly greased grill pan on medium heat. Cook for about 7 to 8 minutes on each side, turning the arepa a few times carefully with a spatula to cook evenly until they are golden brown and puffy.
- Assemble the arepa. As soon as the arepas are cooked, stuff them and eat them! It’s when they are at their best—crispy, warm and delicious. To start, place the arepa on a clean kitchen towel.

- 2. Add masarepa ½ cup at a time, whisking constantly (but gently) to incorporate. When all the flour has been added, the dough should have a soft, supple texture that holds together when pressed. If it seems too dry, add more warm water, a tablespoon at a time.
- 4. Portion the arepa dough into 16 even pieces. Roll each piece into a ball and then press down lightly with your palm to form into discs.
