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