The arepas are prepared with precooked corn flour, for each cup of flour you add a cup of warm water, salt and a jet of oil so that the dough is softer and moldable, flour balls are formed the size of a fist and lenticular form crushing the dough and molding with fingers to achieve a circumference... can also be made square and is easier, mount the arepas on a hot plate for 15 minutes approximately turning it so they do not burn and cook on both sides.
