Chef tips
To achieve the perfect texture, use lukewarm water and add it gradually to the cornmeal while kneading. Let the dough rest for five minutes so the moisture is absorbed and the dough doesn't crumble. For a classic kosher version, fill the arepas with roasted chicken and mashed avocado. Kids will love helping mash the avocado and assembling the warm pockets right after they come off the skillet.
