Colombian Arepas

wonderful recipe...came out very tasty and perfectly done...

I would add more butter because I’ve tasted arepas cooked by a Colombian woman and they tasted buttery, but it’s personal preference

This recipe is so good and so easy! My daughter first found it as part of a school project, but we have since made it just for our family because it is easy and delicious! I will say that the arepas are much better fresh. They don't keep their taste as well after a few days in the fridge, but that is rarely a problem since we usually devour them all on the first day!

These are delicious. We ate ours with salsa and queso fresco and it was amazing. I'd suggest cooking with actual oil, rather than cooking spray. It crisps up the edges and adds a nuance to the flavors. (I made half with cooking spray, half with olive oil.)
