In a bowl or on your countertop, combine the flour, salt, and sugar. Mix until everything is well combined. Make a well in the center of the flour and add the egg, butter, and a splash of milk (just a little). Start mixing until the dough is soft and easy to shape. If the dough is too dry, add a little more milk, a small amount at a time, until the dough is smooth and doesn’t stick to your fingers.

Heat a skillet or griddle over low heat. Once hot, cook the arepas until done. Let them cool and enjoy.
