Directions

  1. Mix milk, cream cheese, and salt in a mixing bowl, whisk together until smooth and foamy. Add sugar and arepas flour to milk mixture, mix with a spatula until dough is soft, thick, and workable, about 1 minute.

  2. Divide dough into 4 portions (for the 4 wells in the maker). Form each quarter into a ball and use wet hands to gently shape it into a thick patty about 1/2-inch thick. If you see little cracks on the outside, the dough may be a little too dry, add more milk.

  3. Heat arepas maker, lightly coat wells of the arepas machine with vegetable oil.

  4. Place patties into wells of maker, close lid, and let cook through one cooking cycle of machine, about 5 minutes. For a crisper crust, flip arepas, using a wooden spoon or spatula, and repeat cooking cycle for 5 more minutes. Patties will be crusty and browned on both sides and the insides will be cooked all the way through.

Recipe Yield

4 arepas

Recipe Note

Using milk instead of water in the arepas will make them a little richer, a little denser, and, that's right - delicious! Split and serve with a pat of butter and a drizzle of honey, or make a breakfast sandwich with a drizzle of maple syrup, a slice of cheese and cooked ham, and a fried egg.
