Venezuelan Arepas are a typical Venezuelan dish that can be filled with various ingredients.
3-4
2 ½ cups of water
2 cups of precooked corn flour
delicatessen to taste
Combine the water, the precooked corn flour, and a little bit of salt in a large mixing bowl.
Mix the ingredients by hand until no clumps remain in the resulting dough and it has a smooth but solid consistency.
Preheat a pan with oil over low heat.
Take a piece of dough and form a ball the size of the palm of your hand.
Carefully slap the ball side by side to make a disk neither too thick nor too thin.
Repeat the process with the remainder of the dough.
Put the arepas in the preheated pan and wait for it approximately 2 minutes and a half to flip it over.
When both sides are cooked, take them out of the pan.
Cut through the middle of the arepas with a butter knife, and brush them with butter.
Fill them with delicatessen to taste (ham, cheese, beans, mortadella, eggs, etc.)
