In a bowl, pour 1 1/4 cups of warm water, add a pinch of salt to taste, and a splash of corn oil.

Stir everything until the salt dissolves.

Gradually add the precooked whole wheat corn flour, respecting the proportion of 1 cup of flour to 1 1/4 cups of water, which makes 4 arepas.

Wet your hands to prevent the dough from sticking while kneading.

Knead the dough for a few minutes until smooth and elastic.

Let the dough rest for 3 to 5 minutes, then knead it again with wet hands.

Form the dough into a ball and divide it into two equal parts, then each part into two halves, making four balls.

Shape each ball into arepas, keeping them between the size of a golf ball and a tennis ball.

Grease a skillet or griddle with a little corn oil using a napkin.

Cook the arepas in the skillet over medium heat for about 5 to 8 minutes on each side, flipping them after 8 minutes.

Once cooked, remove them from the skillet and prepare the next batch.
