Cornmeal Pancakes (Arepa)

Arepas are fried or baked yellow or white corn pancakes, either plain or with a filling. Many Venezuelans and Colombians eat them in place of bread, often at breakfast. They are one of the national dishes of Venezuela and there are many food stands or small restaurants called areperas which specialize in the making of these small delights. Arepas have been an important staple in the diets of the poor Venezuelan's diet for centuries; today they are eaten by rich and poor alike. Originally they were made from dried corn kernels which were soaked in water and lime to remove the skins, then cooked
