Cooking InstructionsHide images
step 1
In a large bowl add Water (2 1/2 cups), Salt (1 tsp), Oil (1 tsp) and mix.
step 2
Next slowly add the P.A.N.® Harina Flour (2 cups) while whisking using a spoon. Using your hands, mix and break apart any lumps. If the mixture is too watery add more Harina Flour. However, we need the mixture to be a bit wet so that it is not too crumbly when making the arepas. Let the mixture rest for 5 minutes.
step 3
Wet your hands with some water and taking a handful of the mixture roll into a ball and then press together with your hands to create the circular shape. If the edges crack, use your wet fingers to push and close the cracks.
step 4
In a large pan over medium heat, add a little bit of oil and spread using a napkin. Place the arepa down and cook for 5-7 minutes without moving them.
step 5
Flip and cook for another 10 minutes. Make sure the bottom is fully cooked before flipping to avoid sticking and breaking the arepa apart when flipping.
step 6
When you see a golden crust formed on both sides, the arepas are done. You should be able to tap them and hear a hollow sound. Using a knife, open 3/4 of the way so that you can fill then but still close together.
step 7
Fill with whatever stuffing you'd like such as shredded beef, ham and cheese etc.
