I am from Venezuela and so emotional living in Mexico watching you making these yummy meal

My woman is from Venezuela, she is new to America and this is one of her favorite things to eat. I want to make these for her. Thank you!

Thank you for sharing this video. I am from Venezuela and this is wonderful. Just a tip. I used to put some oil in the dough or butter, so the dough is softer, and I put a little bit more of water, the consistency should be softer and easier to knead and less thick and hard. Oven yes, depends on what city/state are you coming from. Barquisimeto, for example, they put them in the oven and are thick. Caracas (and mostly the whole country) just in a got pan for a while and are thin. San Cristóbal, are big and thin (sometimes skinny) and sometimes fried.Good job here!

Thank you! My daughter wants to make these SO bad ever since watching Encanto, and I had no idea how to do so.

Qué buena explicación!👏🔥❤️❤️❤️ Soy venezolana y amo la arepa con locura. Es mi desayuno todos los días. La arepa es la gloria🇻🇪🔥✨

This is, hands down, the BEST instructional video on making arepas I've seen. I have had to alter them due to my husband being sodium sensitive and we went vegan. Fyi, I used my Ninja Foodie grill rather than my cast iron skillet (same one as video) to streamline it. I replaced the salt with 2 teaspoons of Yondu, look it up! Bringing total sodium from around 2300 mg to 700 mg....I got 8 cakes from it and that averages around 87 mg per cake and the taste is amazing. I used Miyoko's vegan butter. Set the Foodie on BBQ Grill at 400 deg and brown as video shows, then when you have them browned, reset the Foodie to "Bake" 350 temp and 10 minutes, flip halfway through. I can only do 6 cakes at once but it doesn't take long. From a southern girl who has made cornbread several times a week and grew up on the stuff, this is super easy and a nice change of pace. The ONLY problem is waiting until they are cool enough to eat! Arepa corn flour is hard to find, even for us living in New Mexico now, and native New Mexicans don't even know about them at our local Mexican grocery store, so we ordered it from Amazon. I am allergic to wheat so it is great to find a nice sandwich bread that is not all that gluey mess of gluten free bread with little to no taste. And these are way easier to make and less tedious than making corn tortillas, of which I make more than I would care to. 😂

My neighbor is from Colombia. It is 9:00 am and she just brought me two arepas. I had to look them up. I will make them and hope they come out as good as hers. Your video is easy to follow. Thank you.

It's nice to see a foreign chef interested in Venezuelan gastronomy. Thanks a lot for showing the world our most magnificent dish: the arepa.

My husband is Venezuelan he makes these alot he never had a taco or tortilla before until he came to America, only these 😊😊😅

I Love Arepas... this is what I add to my dough, masa.. 1 teaspoon melted butter, 1/2 cup of 3 flavor Mexican cheese and Man!!!!! I'm the boom 💣 at the party.

I was searching for a simple way of making AREPAS! 💕🥙🥙Thank you!👏👏

This is exactly how my MIL makes them! Great tutorial! Thanks!

This is how our Venezuelan housekeeper made these for me when I was a little girl. I used to beg her to make them for me. One of the best foods I ate when I lived in Venezuela.

I tried these in Miami with cheese and it was like heaven 🌟Thank you for posting this video, and made the process uncomplicated 👌

Yeaaahhh... i just saw a FRENCH guy making arepas (Yannick Lescure TV is his channel) now I see this in English. Great!! So proud! Thanks!

Those Arepas look delicious, thank you for sharing! :)

I love PAN and havent used regular cornmeal since. Ive used the recipes from their website. Thanks for sharing

OH. MY. GOD! Thaaaaaaaank YOOOU! For sharing this so I can make some at home now! (IF I can find the flour!) I FINALLY found the sweet corn pancakes!!!!!! THESE, are to DIE FOR! with jelly, cream cheese, cheese- like a grilled cheese- especially if you make them & freeze them for later use, you can just popped out, heat'em in the microwave for about 45 seconds & they're good to go with whatever topping you want to use! After the last 2-3 years of searching, I was under the impression that these were a Peruvian food- as the woman I used to cook with in NJ, was Peruvian, she used to make these almost every other day! They were HUGE at block parties in NJ. 🤣😂 I bet you Fetty Wap had a few too! I lived in NJ when he did a concert at East Side High school, for a Spring Concert! It was pretty dope! I'll NEVER forget the day I heard his name on the radio tho. Humbling to know of someone who made something out of themselves and got out of bad areas & neighborhoods! (I will NOT speak on the area I used to live in, in Patterson, NJ. Its a nice place to live but there ARE issues with where I was living at the time. Unsure if things are still like that there. Each area, town, city & place, has its own pros and cons just like everywhere else. You can't have the light without the dark! Thats "Life". I fell in love with them! They're so thick, and a much more "meaty-er" dough to use & cook with! So while hunting & searching for the yellow box she had bought this stuff in- I realized, when I got back to NY- Upstate, NY- the REAL "Upstate, NY"- as in, if I throw a rock off my front porch, I'll hit a Canadian Border patrol agent, in the head. I'm less than 10 min from the Canadian border- in NY.

I will be looking for Pan in the store. Just googled it and you can use the cornmeal and let it sit for 15 mins, because I just made it and it works, the issue is if you do not use Pan, you have to let it sit and absorb, i added just some extra hot water, but my cornmeal at home was coarse Delicious, Delicious, delicious.............I filled mine with sauteed scallions........delicious thank you for the recipe

Thank you for this video. I just recently discovered Arepas! Going to make some now! Thank you!

Thank I had arepas once and loved them. I love maize and love my corn breads and tortillas and anything with corn. Haha

This is a wonderful tutorial! I think it is because you love making these that the process is so easy to learn from you. I have recently gone gluten free and it has improved how I feel so very much. There are certain tricks to learn when working with other flours, like how much baking powder varies by a lot, but I never would have known the different flours we have easy access to without wheat gluten giving my body a hard time. The masa doesn't cost nearly what some of the others do, and I love the taste. Thank you.

Hola. Thank you for this beautiful recipe. My Grandfather on my father side was French and Spanish. I understand we have family from the Basque region in Europe. I lived in Albuquerque NM for 15 years and I love Mexican food and finding this really makes me happy. I’m just waiting for my masa to get here so I can make it. Not only does this look delicious but it’s very easy to make which is my kind of recipe. Thanks again!

Hermana!! Those just made my mouth WATER!! Can't wait to try them. :))

Thank you so much! The mother of a friend I was friends with in primary school, used to make this! I LOVED IT!!!! And now I know how to make them!

I had never heard of arepas until today. Your instructions are easy to understand and follow. I will definitely be making these. Thank you.

I love the reverse technique goin water salt then corn masa flour! So many great tips! I like mine buttery also but I put mine in a rice cooker to steam cook after toasting them like you did. Gah yours look sooo good Yummy! Thank you!

I just finished watching this and the shredded beef video. I really have to try these recipes. Thanks for sharing.

I had these last week at a friends home and they were awesome! So much so that I had to search here to find the recipe and how to make them myself! YUMMY!

Made tonight, they turned out amazing. Thank you!

Excellent demonstration I enjoyed your video. Keep up the good work.

I live in a small city with a large hispanic population and a new group of food trucks opened up close to my home and one is a Venezuelan truck that makes Arepas. Had my first like 3 weeks ago with a friend and we're both hooked. The ones they sell from the truck are largely meats (chicken, pork, beef) and cheese. Oh man, they're so good. And so filling too. They don't look big but I finish one and I feel like I ate too much (in a good way).

Yummmmmm I love to put cheese in mine 🧀🧀 and drink a hot beverage ☕️ thanks for sharing doll have a nice evening 😉

I made these according to this recipe, where have these been my whole life. I just threw it in a thick bowl of split peas and enjoyed it immensely. Came back to see if I made a mistake. The first time, a few days ago, I forgot to bake them and ate them out of the pan. It's good, too! I just couldn't wait. Went off white flour for a year now and wanted something!

Thank you so much, muchisimas gracias por la receta 😁👍🏻

This with cheese and coffee makes yhe perfect munchies breakfast for me... Ty for the video 👍❤🙌

Thank you I see them being cooked on the streets often.Usually with onions and a little meat.

Nice tutorial! Simple, clear and concise. I happen to have some masarepa (cooked cornmeal) and am going in the kitchen to make some arepas right now!

I Congrats! . It's the first time I've seen in KZfaq a good arepa recipe from start to finish. Where are you from? . Where did you learn to make them?. Delicious with any filling and by themselves. Thanks for sharing

Thank you for the recipe! I love it because it's easily veganized. 💙

Thank you for this! I’ve got a wheat allergy but couldn’t for the life of me figure out why my buns with PAN weren’t working. I didn’t think to put them in the oven! They’re marvellous:)

This was beautifully done!! Thank you for sharing your recipe!!❤💙🔥🔥

Looks good will surely try. thanks

These look super good! Oh I love the butter in the middle! Looks so yummy! TFS! :D

Looks delicious!

Wow thanks for your hard work really appreciate it. Sooo delicious.

Venezuelan food! IN HEAVEN! 👌🇻🇪😍💕

Thank you for satisfying my craving!

Que bueno que le gusten las arepas, gracias por compartir en enjoy your arepas🥰😆💫💥💝

Great vid! Very informative. We loved watching it! Keep up the great work!

Thank you from new Zealand

really informative and mouthwatering

I can't wait to try it.

I have been wanting to eat arepa when I watched ENCANTO. So I really ecxcited to find the video! I'll try to make and eat.

Wow it looks so good! I am Ethiopian and this is so similar to what I grew up eating, we usually eat it with greens or spiced homemade cottage cheese!

Looks soooo good

Never heard of Arepas, but they look really good and simple to make...might give it a try!

Love this recipe! Keep up the good work!!!

I made them today and trued perfect and delicious 😋🤤 thank you for such a lovely recipe

you are so charismatic !

Those got me in the mood. I haven't had one in a long time. Cheers! tfs Maryanne

thanks, looks delishhhh

Very helpful. Thanks!

Eat well without going broke. I love it!

Your pronunciation of Arepas was very nice because not everyone says it properly. Nice and easy instructions.

2:45 tip when they are in the oven: they are ready when you tap them and they sound like a little drum 🥁 , that's my grandma's technique 🤠👍

Thank you for showing me how to make my national food arepas I am just 12 years old and I needed to learn because it’s my NATIONAL food! My mom is so proud of me but I give all the credits to YOU!,I am so proud of myself but again. THANK YOU!for showing me how to amke my favorite food ❤️ thank you.

i got a bag of masa brosa is this different than you are using here? if so could you tell me how to use it?

In panama we fry them and call them tortillas. There is another corn masa that works good called Doñarepa (made in Colombia) but my favorite is La Venezuelana. Either way beats boiling corn and grinding by hand like when I was 9

Now I like arepas and I'm from India 😀😁😊

Very delicious. I love arepas. I’m from Puerto Rico.

I will give it a try. Thanks

Looks wonderful! Could these be made the day before serving? Any suggestion on how to store so they stay fresh?

Your English is awesome for a Hispanic person, I'm amazed 🤩

Excellent video!

Great! Thanks for sharing . . .

Thanks, very inspiring!

So helpful! Thank you 🙏🏼

Thanks for this well made video.

I really like the presentation alart from the cooking. Kudos.

In some sites I read they calling the Harina PAN generic. Harina PAN is the original one. The others are copy or generic of the Harina PAN. Harina PAN is the one that invented how to make this kind of Harina on a industrial level back in the 60s in Venezuela !!!! Excellent video !!

All the Hispanic aisle in my grocery store has is stuff for tacos =__= I always stock up on P.A.N. when I go visit home. Anyway, thanks for this video! For some reason I can never get my arepas right, so I hope this tutorial helps when I make them tonight :D Personally, I love filling mine with butter and a slice of mozzarella cheese. That, a bottle of malta, and a side of platanos is a perfect meal

hi i just added the pan corn meal without flour I fried them but confused why they look raw inside when I cut it need help🤔

Hi, does the cornmeal flour have baking soda in it?

I tried it and OMG IT IS SOOOO GOOD

Hi, thanks for the recipe! What temp do you pan fry them, medium, med-high, or on high? Thanks!

I love double Gluten double GMO Arepas they are delightful! Great video, thank you.

Can u make em in airfryer?

Thanks for sharing this recipe!

I'll be honest, I'm here because I just watched encanto and now i want to know how to make them :-)

Arepas frescas. A gift from the gods.

Thank you for sharing!

I made these today! Yummy but I added lots of garlic and oregano to mine thank you

Thank you , will be making these today and for the tip on baking them also . i did not know. :)

Harina P.A.N is a traditional product of Venezuelan gastronomy, the Alimentos Polar factory patented this product since 1960, only with the diaspora it installed factories in the US, Italy, Argentina, Spain and distributes it in 60 countries around the world.

What temperature is your warm water? I know when you use the spray 110°F is that about right.

Thanks for your vixeo.i was trying to use the mexican corn tortilla flour. This must be why it was so wet . I guess ill nake areapas another day.

Nice and easy video thank you.

Thank you for the video😇

Muchísimas gracias
