👨‍🍳 Instructions

Mix water, corn meal, mozzarella cheese, butter, and salt together in a large bowl.

Knead until mixed well and the dough has a soft consistency.

Form balls the size of a medium orange and place them between 2 sheets of plastic wrap.

Flatten with a rolling pin to your desired thickness.

Cut the dough into circles using a cereal bowl or drinking glass, lip-down, through the plastic wrap.

Remove the plastic wrap and remove excess dough.

Coat a griddle with cooking spray and heat to medium-high.

Add arepas and grill until golden brown, about 5 minutes per side.

Serve immediately.
