Ingredients
- 1 g salt
- 1 g corn flour
- 1.25 cup warm water
Instructions
- Combine the corn flour in a bowl and gradually pour in the salted water, stirring until fully absorbed and a dough forms.
- Allow the dough to rest for 5 minutes.
- Form the dough into round patties roughly 3 inches (7.5 cm) across and 1/2 inch (1.25 cm) thick.
- Lightly oil a skillet.
- Cook the arepas over low to medium heat in the oiled skillet until each side develops a crust.
- Transfer the partially cooked arepas to a baking dish.
- Bake at 350°F (175°C) for about 20 minutes, or until they sound hollow when tapped.
- Optional: replace the water with chicken or beef broth when mixing the dough to boost flavor.
