A sweet, pudding-like cornmeal cake, Dominican Arepa is a delightful dessert that pairs perfectly with coffee.
Ingredients
Units
- 16 ounces finely ground yellow cornmeal
- 2 cups water
- 2 1/2 cups milk
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup sugar
- 1 cinnamon stick
- 1 large egg, beaten
- 2 ounces butter
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375F and grease a round, 10-inch pan.
- Stir water and corn flour in heavy-bottomed pan over medium heat. Let simmer until all the water is absorbed.
- Add milk, salt, sugar and cinnamon stick. Constantly stir, making sure to reach the edges so it doesn’t stick. Cook for about 10-15 minutes, until a film develops on the bottom of the pan and all the liquid is incorporated. The mixture will start bubbling slowly.
- Remove the cinnamon stick and whisk in egg and butter. Pour batter into greased pan and place in oven.
- Bake for approximately 50 minutes to an hour, until the center sets up.
- Enjoy either warm or cold, with tea or coffee.
