Directions
Preheat the oven to 200C, 400F, Gas Mark 6.
Place the flour and salt in a large mixing bowl and gradually add the warm water, mixing to form a stiff dough.
Leave to stand for 5 minutes.
Knead the dough for a couple of minutes then form into 8 balls.
Flatten with the palm of your hand so they measure about 7.5cm/3-inches in diameter and are about 18mm/¾-inch thick.
Heat a little oil in a large frying pan, add the arepas and cook for 3-4 minutes on each side until crisp and golden, turning 3 or four times.
Remove them from the pan and drain on kitchen paper then transfer to a baking sheet and bake in the oven for about 15 minutes.
