1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (176 C). Set out a baking sheet and line with parchment paper. And to a large mixing bowl, add water and salt. Stir to combine and dissolve salt.
2. A little at a time, add the areparina and stir with a whisk or your hands (our preferred method). You may work your way all the way up to two cups, although we typically have 1-2 Tbsp leftover. You’re looking for a dough that doesn’t easily stick to your hands, is moldable and moist, and can be rolled into a ball. Once you have that consistency, cover with a towel for 5 minutes. We did mix both white and yellow areparina as inspired by Teote (optional).
3. Uncover, grab a large handful of dough, and roll into a ball (as the recipe is written, our batch made 6 large arepas, but it could also make 8-10 smaller arepas).
4. Carefully press the ball between the palms of your hands to form into a roughly 1/2-inch thick disc (for thinner, crispier arepas, press closer to 1/4 inch). If it cracks a lot on the sides, your dough may need 1-2 (15-30 ml) more water. A little cracking is OK - just use your hands to close the cracks by gently patting along the edges (see photo).

1. In a large bowl, combine arepa flour and salt and mix until fully combined. Make a well in the center and add in the melted butter and water. Gradually stir using a wooding spoon until no dry lumps remain. Adjust the consistency by adding more flour or water as needed, the dough is ready when it doesn’t stick to the sides of the bowl or your fingers. Let it rest for about 5 minutes to hydrate.
2. Grab 3 tablespoons of the dough and form a ball, gently press dough between your palms to flatten forming about ¼ inch thick patty. Pay attention to the edges so as to not leave cracks. If using cheese, make a little well in the center of the dough ball before flattening. Place flattened dough on a greased parchment paper and repeat the process for the remaining dough.
3. Heat oil in a large cast-iron or non sticky skillet over medium-high heat. Fry the arepas in batches, flipping once, until golden brown in patches, for about 5-8 minutes on each side. Drain on a paper towel.
4. Transfer arepas to a wire rack and let it cool. Split arepas and stuff with desired filling; shredded chicken, shredded pork, guacamole, butter, maple syrup or enjoy as is.
