Ingredients

  • 280 g of cornmeal.
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup of water
  • Oil.
  • 4 eggs

Instructions

  • In a bowl, mix the cornmeal and salt. Add the water and mix with your hands to form a dough. Let stand.
  • Divide the mixture into four equal parts (70g each) form a ball with each serving.
  • Here you have two options, form the thin arepa with your hand or place the dough on plastic paper and press with a lid to flatten it. The idea is to be thin.
  • Heat the oil, and when it is boiling, introduce the arepa one by one and sauté for 3 minutes turning one time.
  • Remove from heat and drain.
  • Let stand a little and with a sharp knife make an opening about 1½ inches long in the arepa.
  • We put the egg in a casserole and pass it carefully to the hollow of the arepa so that it introduces inside (the raw egg).
  • Take a small piece of dough and seal the arepa. Do the same with the others.
  • Add the egg stuffed arepa to the hot oil again and let it fry for about 4 minutes.
  • Remove from oil, place on kitchen towels to remove excess oil, and they will be ready to eat.

Enjoy your meal!
