Make a small pocket into the dough, then carefully pour the seasoned egg inside! The result is amazing.

INGREDIENTS

• 1 cup (240 ml) hot water

• 1/4 teaspoon food color

• 1 teaspoon salt

• ½ teaspoon sugar

• 1 cup (150 g) white corn flour

• 6 large eggs

• Oil for frying

• Salt and pepper to taste

METHOD
1. Pour hot water into a large bowl, and then add food coloring, salt and sugar. Stir.

2. Then slowly add the cornmeal and mix it with a wooden spoon or spatula. When the cornmeal absorbs the water, knead it with your hands until the dough is smooth and lump free. Divide the dough into 6 equal balls.

3. Roll the balls and press using rolling pin or frying pan. Gently press the edges with your fingers to get rid of cracks.

4. Place the arepas in the oil, preheated to 350ºF (180ºC), and let it sink to the bottom. As soon as the arepa rises to the surface, begin to coat it with a large amount of oil with a large spoon within 2-3 Add. This will cause the arepa to swell. Then take it out of the oil and put it on paper towels.

5. Beat one egg into a measuring cup and season with salt and pepper to taste.

6. Once the arepa is cool enough, make an incision with a sharp knife about 3.5 cm wide at the sides of the arepa to make a small pocket. Then carefully pour the seasoned egg inside and immediately place the arepa back in the hot oil and cook for another 2-3 minutes or until the egg is ready.
