Ingredients

  

• 1 unidad Medium carrot
• 2 unidad Small - medium beets
• 4 tazas Water
• 2 tazas Corn flour
• 1/2 cda Salt
• 1 cda Butter

Instructions

 

• Wash the beets and carrots well. Peel them carefully and proceed to grate them on the small side of the grater. Place in a container where we can knead.
  
• Add the salt and water, stir until the mixture is uniform. Then we begin to add the flour and stir with a fork so that no lumps are formed. We proceed to knead until we obtain a consistent and smooth dough.
  
• Divide the dough into 4 portions and turn each portion into a ball. With each ball we begin to turn it over with both hands and press it so that it takes the shape of an arepa. Place over medium heat a budare or frying pan and when it is hot put the arepas.
  
• Let the arepas cook for about 6 minutes per side, always making sure they do not burn. Once they are ready, open and spread with butter.
  
• We can fill with cheese or any other ingredient of your choice, in this case we did it with scrambled eggs.
