CORN AND CHEESE GRIDDLE CAKES (AREPAS)



Corn and Cheese Griddle Cakes (Arepas) image

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!

Time 25m

Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 7

3/4 cup yellow cornmeal
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup fat free mozzarella cheese, shredded
4 teaspoons butter, melted
1/2 cup low-fat milk
2/3 cup fresh corn kernels, fresh or frozen and thawed
pico de gallo (optional)

Steps:

  • Put the cornmeal and salt in a food processor and process until finely ground. Transfer to a large bowl and stir in the cheese and butter.
  • Meanwhile, heat the milk in a small saucepan over medium-high heat until almost boiling. Gradually stir enough of the milk into the cornmeal mixture to make a very thick batter. Stir in the corn.
  • Spray a large nonstick skillet with nonstick cooking spray and set over medium heat. Drop half of the cornmeal mixture, 1 heaping tablespoon at a time, in 6 mounds in the skillet. Flatten slightly and cook until golden brown, about 3 minutes. Spray the griddle cakes with nonstick spray and turn. Cook until golden brown, about 3 minutes, transferring them to a platter when they are done; keep warm. Repeat with the remaining cornmeal mixture to make a total of 12 griddle cakes. Serve with Pico de Gallo, if using.

CORN AND JALAPENO GRIDDLE CAKES



Corn and Jalapeno Griddle Cakes image

On the outside these look like pancakes. One bite, and you'll see they're far from ordinary. Flecked with bits of crisp corn and jalapeno pepper, these griddle cakes are the answer to breakfast, lunch or even dinner. We suggest using grilled or roasted corn, but thawed frozen kernels work well in a pinch.

Provided by Jennifer Perillo

Time 25m

Yield 12 griddle cakes

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 cup yellow cornmeal
2 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon sugar
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 1/4 cups whole or 2-percent milk
1 tablespoon butter, melted, plus more for greasing the pan
1 egg
1 1/2 cups cooked corn kernels (from 2 small ears)
1 small jalapeno pepper, seeded and chopped fine

Steps:

  • In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, cornmeal, baking powder, sugar and salt. In a small bowl or measuring cup, use a fork to lightly beat the milk, melted butter and egg. Pour the milk mixture over the flour mixture. Add the corn and jalapeno. Use a fork to stir until just mixed and there are no visible traces of flour.
  • Heat a 10-inch skillet over medium-low heat. Sprinkle a few drops of water into the skillet--if they "dance" across it, the skillet is ready. Add a pat of butter and swirl to coat. Drop scant 1/4 cupfuls of batter into the skillet, leaving 1 to 2 inches between each cake. Cook until set around the edges and air bubbles form on top, about 2 minutes. Flip and cook 1 to 2 more minutes. Serve hot.
  • Love Your Leftovers: Store remaining griddle cakes in a ziptop bag in the fridge for up to 2 days, or the freezer for up to 1 month. Heat them in a toaster (no need to thaw frozen ones) when ready to eat.

Yield Makes 8 to 10 servings

Number Of Ingredients 20

Orange-honey butter:
1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter
1/2 cup honey
1 1/2 tablespoons finely grated orange zest
Kosher salt, freshly ground pepper
Corn cakes:
6 tablespoons (3/4 stick) unsalted butter
3/4 cup (about 7 ounces) breakfast sausage, casings removed if necessary
1 1/2 cups fresh (or frozen, thawed) corn kernels
1 cup yellow cornmeal
1/2 cup whole wheat flour
1 tablespoon sugar
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1 teaspoon freshly cracked black peppercorns
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon baking powder
Pinch of cayenne pepper
1 1/4 cups buttermilk
2 large eggs
6 scallions, chopped

Steps:

  • For orange-honey butter:
  • Melt butter in a small saucepan over low heat. Whisk in honey and orange zest. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Cover and keep warm.
  • For corn cakes:
  • Melt butter in a small saucepan over medium heat. Spoon milk solids from surface and discard. Pour clarified butter into a small glass measuring cup (there should be about 1/4 cup), leaving any browned bits behind; set aside. (Alternatively, use 1/4 cup grapeseed oil.)
  • Cook sausage in a 10" cast-iron skillet or other large heavy nonstick skillet over medium heat, breaking up into small pieces with the back of a spoon, until browned and cooked through, about 8 minutes. Using a slotted spoon, transfer sausage to a small bowl. Add corn to same skillet and cook over medium-high heat, stirring often, until browned, 5-6 minutes. Transfer corn to bowl with sausage and let cool. Wipe skillet clean and reserve.
  • Whisk cornmeal and next 7 ingredients in a medium bowl. Whisk buttermilk and eggs in a large bowl; add dry ingredients and whisk until just combined. Fold in sausage, corn, and scallions.
  • Heat 1 tablespoon clarified butter in reserved skillet; working in batches and adding butter as needed between batches, add batter to pan by tablespoonfuls. Cook until cakes are crisp and golden brown, 2-3 minutes. Turn cakes over and cook until browned, 1-2 minutes longer. Transfer cakes to paper towels to drain. Serve warm drizzled with orange-honey butter.

Tips:

  • Use fresh corn kernels for the best flavor and texture.
  • If you don't have fresh corn kernels, you can use frozen or canned corn kernels. Just be sure to drain the canned corn kernels well before using.
  • Add your favorite mix-ins to the corn cakes, such as chopped onions, bell peppers, jalapenos, or cheese.
  • Serve the corn cakes with your favorite toppings, such as butter, syrup, or salsa.
  • Corn cakes can also be made ahead of time and reheated in the oven or microwave.

Conclusion:

Corn cakes are a delicious and versatile breakfast, lunch, or dinner option. They are easy to make and can be customized to your liking. With a few simple ingredients, you can create a delicious meal that the whole family will enjoy. So next time you are looking for a quick and easy meal, give corn cakes a try!
