Ingredients
Ingredients:Precooked White Corn Flour (Harina Precocida de Maiz Blanco o Harina Pan), 1 cup Water, tap, 1 cup (8 fl oz) Salt, 0.5 tsp *Corn Oil, 1 1tsp
Directions
Put one cup of corn flour in a bowl, add little by little one cup of warm water, then add salt. Make a soft dough. Let the dough stand for 3 minutes, to obtain softer arepas. Add three more tablespoons of water if needed and knead. Once you have the dough, shape the arepas (make a ball with the dough and squeeze with both palms of your hands, and make them round). Then cook them on a lightly greased griddle until crusty on both sides.

    Made these and love them except the insides do not seem to get all the way cooked. Can you share what I am doing wrong? - 2/26/12

    These are the same directions as on the bag & neither are helpful. I tried to make these 2x and neither worked. There is no timing given, or how hot the pan needs to be. - 6/2/10
