Arepas, or corn cakes, are popular in South American countries like Venezuela and Colombia where they are typically served warm with meats and stews. They're a perfect accompaniment to chili.

Method
In a saucepan over high heat, bring broth, corn oil and salt to a boil.
In a mixing bowl, combine masa harina and cumin.
Pour hot liquid over masa and stir until the consistency of a batter.
Add corn.
Stir until combined. Cover and set aside for 10 minutes.
Divide dough into 8 pieces.
Form each into a ball and then press into 1/2-inch-thick patties.
Heat a griddle pan or cast iron pan with remaining tablespoon oil to medium high heat. Working in batches and taking care not to overcrowd the pan, cook cakes until blackened, 4 to 6 minutes per side. Serve warm.
