Corn Tamalito - sugar

Method

• Start out with some instant corn flour or masa. Add this to a mixer along with white sugar and softened butter or margarine. Cream this together until it is fluffy.
• In a food processor, add 1 cup of the corn kernels, and water. Blend on high till smooth. Add the masa and corn mixtures together and fold.
• Mix in the remaining corn, corn meal, baking powder, salt and milk. Mix batter until smooth.
• Pour mixture into a baking dish large enough to fit over a pot of boiling water. Cover the baking dish tightly with aluminum foil or plastic wrap.
• Place the baking dish over a large saucepan of simmering/boiling water.
• Steam for 50 to 60 minutes, or until firm.
• Check water occasionally, and refill if necessary.
• Stir with a fork before serving to give it a consistent texture. It should be smooth. Some spots will be a little watery due to water condensation.
• Serve alongside some yummy Mexican dish or eat all by itself. You will like it either way.
