Arepas

Step 1

<p>In medium bowl, stir together Masarepa and 1 tsp. salt. Add 2 ½ cups lukewarm water. Stir until combined; let sit 5 minutes. Using wet hand, knead dough until smooth. Divide dough into 9 portions. Form dough into 8 small balls, reserving remaining portion of dough to patch up holes later. Using press, or palm of hands, flatten balls to ¼” thickness.</p>

Step 2

<p>Meanwhile, fill heavy pot with oil to depth of 1½”. Heat oil until it registers 325°F on deep-fry thermometer. Add <em>arepas</em> to oil. Cook until <em>arepas</em> puff, about 5 minutes; transfer to paper towel-lined plates to drain and cool.</p>

Step 3

<p>Using knife, make 2” incision into one side of<em> arepa</em> to form pocket. Crack egg into espresso-size cup or small ramekin. Carefully slip egg into pocket. Using reserved portion of raw dough, seal together split end.</p>

Step 4

<p>Heat oil to 350°Add egg-filled <em>arepas</em> to oil. Cook until light golden brown on all sides, about 5 minutes for soft-set yolks. transfer to paper towel-lined plates to drain. Season with remaining salt.</p>

Perfect Arepas, Every Time!

Moist cornmeal dough is the key to creating smooth arepas that stay crack-free as they cook (and, in turn, prevent the eggs from leaking out). To keep the dough moist, cover with damp kitchen towel before frying.
