Arepas

Melt the butter in a small pan with the hot water.

Mix the arepa flour and the salt together. Add the cold water and stir gently.

Add the butter/hot water mixture, mix and let stand for 5 minutes.

Add the cheese and knead for 5 minutes.

For the dough into 8 balls. Slightly flatten them and cook in a hot cast iron pan or grill until nicely colored and cooked through, about 2-3 minutes per side.

Serve with butter.
