Homemade Arepas

• portionen: 8 servings
• aktive zeit: 10 minutes
• gesamtzeit: 30 minutes

Zutaten

2 ½ cups lukewarm water

1 teaspoon salt

2 cups pre-cooked white cornmeal (such as P.A.N.®)

¼ cup vegetable oil, or as needed

Anweisungen

Stir water and salt together in a medium bowl; gradually stir in cornmeal with your fingers until the mixture forms a soft, moist, malleable dough.

Form dough into eight 2-inch diameter balls; pat each ball to flatten into a 3/8-inch-thick arepa patty.

Heat oil in a large skillet over medium heat; fry arepas in batches until golden brown, about 4 to 5 minutes per side. Transfer cooked arepas to a paper towel-lined plate to drain until cool enough to handle.

Slice halfway through each arepa horizontally with a thin serrated knife to form a pita-like pocket.

Enjoy!
