How To Make venezuelan arepas

Step 1

Preheat oven to 325 degrees. Mix all ingredients until smooth. Let sit 5-10 minutes so cornmeal absorbs liquid.

Step 2

Form into 8-10 disks, about 3" in diameter. Repair small cracks in edges. If there are too many cracks, knead in some more liquid.
Step 3

Lightly grease heavy skillet and cook arepas in batches until brown on each side, about 2-3 minutes per side.
Step 4

Place on cookie sheet and bake 8-10 minutes.
