Step 1: Buy some flour mix that contains corn, oats and corn bran, or just look for a package of flour with a big arepa on it!
Step 2: Add water and let it be absorbed into the flour. If it is still dry, add a little more water, but be sure to give the water enough time to absorb completely.
Step 3: Knead the mixture until it forms a malleable dough.
Admire your wonderful dough ball!
Step 4: Form the dough into small discs if you're using an arepa maker. The arepa maker is the double-sided pan shown that can be used to easily flip the arepas while on the stove and cooks them thoroughly. You can also make larger ones using a frying pan.
Step 5: Voila- your arepa is ready to be sliced in half, bagel-style, and filled with whatever delicious treats you'd like to put in there! If you've got a sweet tooth, maybe jam. If you're hungry for a good meal, try filling it with a local favorite- avocado and chicken salad, or ham and cheese. For a picture of a filled arepa, refer back to the first September post.

Hola Karina,
ReplyDeleteGreat post. Now I want to eat arepas!
It is so terrific that you are in Caracas and that you are writing a blog so I can vicariously enjoy it too!
Que te vaya bien.
