SWEET CORN TOMALITO RECIPES

Steps:

• In a small bowl, mix the margarine, masa and sugar with mixer until light and fluffy, about 1 minute.
• Blend 1/2 the corn kernels with the water in a blender until smooth.
• Combine with margarine mixture, stirring well.
• Add the remaining corn, cornmeal, baking powder, salt and milk.
• Bring a medium saucepan of water to a boil.
• Pour the mixture into an 8-inch baking dish.
• Tightly cover with plastic wrap and set atop the saucepan of boiling water.
• Keep pan tightly wrapped and steam for 50 minutes to 1 hour.
• Check water level often, until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
• I have also made this in the oven, setting the pan in a water bath.
• I do not know the temp I had the oven on, or how long I kept it inches If anyone tries it, please add that info.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
• Mix together the margarine/butter, masa harina and sugar.
• Add the rest of the ingredients and mix together well.
• Spread out the mixture onto a 9x13 baking dish.
• Place the dish with the mixture on top of another dish that is filled halfway with water.
• Cover the dishes with aluminum foil.
• Carefully place the dishes into the oven and bake for ~1 hour and 15 minutes.
• Check with a toothpick if the dish is done. When done, the toothpick will come out clean.
