Ingredients to do fried corn arepas:
1. The first step to make these rich Venezuelan fried arepas is to gather all the ingredients. As you see, in the list I have put Parmesan cheese, but this is not part of the original recipe, it is simply an extra ingredient that I personally like Include because it gives a special touch of the dough.
2. It is important that to make the mass of the arepas the water is not cold, it will be enough to be at room temperature. Then, mix the water with the melted butter and also add a bit of sal. You can melt the butter in the microwave and this can be of any kind, since what it contributes is gentle to the dough.
3. Then see the cornmeal gradually as you stir with a spoon or fork. It incorporates enough flour until a very soft but moldable dough.
4. A time will come that you will have to knead with your hands, the dough for fried corn arepas should stay as seen in the photo. If you have passed with the amount of flour you can add more water. Remember that the dough is very hard the arepas will be dry.
Trick: If you decide to use Parmesan cheese, you can add it to the dough in this step
5. fried arepas have a very particular shape, such as a classic but thinner arepa with a hole in the center. This hole does is helping the arepa cook well everywhere. Then, to form the arepas first make dough balls, crush them and end up making a small hole in the middle with the finger. As it is seen in the photo.
6. Fry the strangers in abundant hot oil. Ideally, you do it in a saucepan with enough oil so that the arepas float, in this way they will be made evenly and side. Watch that they brown well on both sides.
7. Remove Venezuelan fried arepas to a plate with absorbent paper to remove excess oil and voila. You can serve them as you like.
8. corn fries can be served with almost anything, but that is better to open them in half and put some butter before any filling. I recommend trying them with mechada meat or scrambled eggs. Bon Appetite!
