- Pre-cooked white cornmeal (Masarepa) 70 g · 252 kcal
- Warm water 100 g · 0 kcal
👨🍳 Instructions
- In a medium bowl, combine the pre-cooked white cornmeal and salt, then gradually add warm water while mixing with your hands until a soft, uniform dough forms.
- Divide the dough into equal portions (about 170g each for one arepa) and shape them into thick, round patties about 1 cm (0.4 inches) thick.
- Heat a griddle or cast-iron pan over medium-high heat. Cook the arepas for 5-7 minutes per side, or until golden brown and crusty with light char marks.
- Once cooked, the arepas can be served immediately, often split open and filled with cheese, ham, or other desired fillings.
