RECETA DE TAMALES CON MASECA RECIPES

Steps:

• Cut off the two ends of the corn cob.
• With a sharp knife, remove the kernels. Cut from the base downward with a gentle sawing motion. If it is easier for you, do this operation into a large bowl so that the kernels won’t spill all over the counter.
• Working in batches place the corn in a food processor or blender and grind them lightly. The tamales texture depends how finely you grind the corn.
• Place the corn into a large bowl. If you notice that the mixture is too runny, place it in a colander and let it drain for a couple of minutes.
• Beat the butter with the sugar until fluffy and almost white.
• Add the butter to the bowl with corn, and mix in the flours until everything is combined.
• Put about three tablespoons of the corn mixture in the middle of a husk. Fold in carefully so the dough won’t come out.
• Arrange the tamales in a steaming pot. Steam from 80 to 90 minutes (read notes).
