Ingredients

  • 2 cups of Juana® corn meal
  • 2 1/4 cups of water
  • 1 teaspoon of salt

Preparation

  1. Measure the water and pour it into a bowl. Add the salt and stir until dissolved.
  2. Gradually add the Juana® corn meal while stirring continuously to combine with the water.
  3. Once all the flour is incorporated, knead the dough for 2 to 3 minutes until it becomes very soft. Cover and let it rest for 5 minutes.
  4. Divide the dough into 10 portions of approximately 3 ounces each. Using your hands, shape each portion into a ball and gently flatten to form arepas about 6 inches diameter and ½ inch thick.
  5. Cook the arepas on a griddle over medium-high heat for 3 minutes on each side, or until golden and cooked through.
  6. Cover with a cloth napkin to keep warm until serving.
