2 cups precooked cornmeal* harina precocida (I used masa harina, but I intend to remake with this one.) 2 teaspoons salt 2 1/2 cups warm water 1/4 cup oil for pan frying Mix the precooked cornmeal and the salt. Add the water and whisk remove any lumps, then stir until combined. Let the mixture rest for 5-10 minutes. Using your hands, divide the dough into 8 pieces. Roll each piece into a ball and flatten in gently to create a disk, about 1 inch thick. Heat 1/4 cup oil in a large heavy skillet over medium heat. Add the arepas and fry for about 6 minutes on both sides. The arepas should get a dry fried exterior without getting overly brown. Cut the arepas in half and stuff with your fillings!
