Arepas De Queso Fritas


1. Mix the water and the egg yolk.

2. In a large bowl mix the flour and the egg/water mixture.

3. Mix and kneed the dough for about 5 minutes until it is compact.

4. Cover with a damp cloth and set aside for 5 minutes.

5. Meanwhile heat a deep fryer to 170ÂșC, or fill a frying pan with lots of oil and heat.

6. Take a small ball of the dough, the size of an egg and mold into a flat circle, about 1 cm thick.

7. Fry until golden brown, turning regularly.

8. Turn out onto crumpled absorbent paper and leave to cool slightly.

9. 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).

10. Serve immediately--they don't keep and don't re-heat.
