Ingredients

2.25
2 1/4 cup cold water 1.0
1 tsp sea salt 5.0
5 tsp olive oil 2.0
2 cup masa harina flour 1.0
1 each cooking spray

Directions

Boil water with salt and oil in a pot. Gradually stir boiling mixture into masa harina in a bowl to form a dough. Cover and let rest 15 minutes.
Separate the dough into 12 equal sections. Form each section into a ball using moist hands. Flatten each ball into a 1/2-inch thick patty. Spray each patty with cooking spray on one side.
Cook arepas in a cast-iron skillet heated over medium heat, cooking spray side down. Cook 5 minutes per side, using a spatula to flatten. Arepas should be just crispy and golden brown.
