Arepas De Queso Fritas image

This is a typical Venezuelan dish (I'm Venezuelan), and I like to make it a lot since now I live in Spain. Everyone who has tried it loves them, so I thought I'd share it with everyone at Recipezaar.

Time 25m

Yield 8 arepas

Number Of Ingredients 6

2 cups coarsely ground cornflour
1 egg yolk
3 cups water
1 teaspoon salt
cream cheese or ham, anything you want to fill them with
oil (for deep frying)

Steps:

  • Mix the water and the egg yolk.
  • In a large bowl mix the flour and the egg/water mixture.
  • Mix and kneed the dough for about 5 minutes until it is compact.
  • Cover with a damp cloth and set aside for 5 minutes.
  • Meanwhile heat a deep fryer to 170ÂșC, or fill a frying pan with lots of oil and heat.
  • Take a small ball of the dough, the size of an egg and mold into a flat circle, about 1 cm thick.
  • Fry until golden brown, turning regularly.
  • Turn out onto crumpled absorbent paper and leave to cool slightly.
  • Split them open (like a pita bread) and fill with cheese, ham, butter, honey or whatever you wish. (If there is too much "fluff" inside, you can remove it with a spoon, leaving only the outer shell).
  • Serve immediately--they don't keep and don't re-heat.
