Arepa Ingredients

Method

Arepa Preparation

  1. 1

    Mix the Dough

    In a large mixing bowl, combine the pre-cooked cornmeal, warm water, and salt. Mix with your hands until a smooth dough forms. Let it sit for about 5 minutes to hydrate.

  2. 2

    Shape the Arepas

    Divide the dough into 8 equal portions and shape each portion into a round disk about 1/2 inch thick.

  3. 3

    Cook the Arepas

    Heat a skillet over medium heat and add the vegetable oil. Place the arepas in the skillet and cook for about 5-7 minutes on each side until they are golden brown and slightly crispy.

  4. 4

    Serve

    Remove the arepas from the skillet and let them cool slightly. Serve warm with your choice of fillings or toppings.
