SWEET AREPAS (yummy)
Hello dear Steemians
today I want to share with you a recipe, which is very popular in my country, these are sweet or bulging arepitas. In Venezuela this recipe varies a lot depending on the region and the personal touch of the person who prepares them.
But today I will share my version of these arepitas.
INGREDIENTS:
1 Cup of precooked cornmeal.
2 cups of water.
2 Tablespoons brown sugar
1 Tablespoon of sweet anise seeds.
1/4 Teaspoon of cinnamon powder.
1 pinch of salt.
Oil to fry necessary amount.
Grated llanero cheese quantity needed.
PREPARATION
- In a small pot heat ¼ cup of water with anise, cinnamon and sugar. After the sugar dissolves, remove from heat and let stand.
- In a medium cup place the other part of the water, the pinch of salt and the preparation that we had reserved in the pot; add the precooked cornmeal and reserve for 3 minutes.
- After the time elapsed, knead well, checking that everything is integrated and that there are no lumps; the dough should be soft to start molding our arepitas, we should give them a round and thin shape.
- In a pan place the oil to fry and bring to the fire. When the pan is very hot and we can go placing in the oil our arepitas one by one until they are golden.
- Then we put them on a plate and place grated cheese on top.
we are ready to enjoy
