Dear Ladies,

I tried the Arepas de Maiz recipe and didn't work. Can it be revised? the measurements don't seem right. "for one cup of harina de maiz - 2 TABLESPOONS OF MILK". it doesn't compact.

These are the ingredients as listed in the recipe:

1 tablespoons of softened butter
3 cups of evaporated milk
3 cups of water
2 cups of corn flour
1 1/2 cup of sugar
1/2 teaspoon of salt
1/4 cup of raisins
4 cinnamon sticks
1 cup of coconut milk

I think you misread it.

I made this arepa last night for a potluck at work. We were raising money for the March of dimes. I thought I did wrong because the way my granma made seemed so hard compare to your method. But it came out, out of this world. Everyone at work want the recipe. But my friend from Mexico said that I should make it then sell it to them instead of giving away the recipe. I really don't know how much money we raised but the Arepa was a total success. Some people wanted more sweeter. The only thing I added was coconut flakes, it was awesome... It tasted just like my granma's recipe without el fogo encima. Thank you for bring such dominican favorite recipe to an easy version.

I am VERY glad to hear that your first try was a success.
