Ingredients

  • 2 cups of Juana corn meal 
  • 2 1/4 cups of water 
  • 1 teaspoon of salt (optional) 

Preparation

  1. Measure and pour the water into a bowl, add the salt, and dissolve it. 
  2. Slowly add the 2 cups of Juana corn meal, and salt in case it’s needed, while mixing the water and flour. 
  3. Once the water is completely incorporated, knead for 2 to 3 minutes until obtaining a very soft masa and let it rest for 5 minutes. 
  4. Divide the masa into 10 small balls, each approximately 3 ounces and pat with your hands to form the arepas with a diameter of 6 inches and ½ inch thickness. 
  5. Cook on a griddle over medium-high heat for 3 minutes on each side. 
  6. Cover with a cloth napkin to keep them warm.
