<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
6 fresh corn cobs (kernels removed, about 4 cups)<\/p>\n
1 \u00bc cups masa harina (corn flour)<\/p>\n
1 stick (\u00bd cup) unsalted butter, softened<\/p>\n
\u00be cup sugar (adjust for sweetness)<\/p>\n
1 tsp baking powder<\/p>\n
\u00bd tsp salt<\/p>\n
1 cup whole milk (or evaporated milk for a richer flavor)<\/p>\n
Corn husks (soaked in warm water for at least 30 minutes to soften)<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
<\/p>\n
Prepare the Corn Mixture:<\/strong><\/p>\n Place the corn kernels in a blender or food processor and blend until smooth but still slightly chunky for texture.<\/p>\n In a mixing bowl, beat the softened butter with the sugar until light and fluffy. This will help the tamales to be fluffy and sweet.<\/p>\n Add the blended corn to the butter mixture and mix well.<\/p>\n Mix the Masa:<\/strong><\/p>\n In a separate bowl, combine the masa harina, baking powder, and salt.<\/p>\n Gradually add the dry ingredients to the corn mixture, alternating with the milk, mixing until you have a smooth, creamy batter. The mixture should be thick but spreadable. Add a bit more milk if needed.<\/p>\n Assemble the Tamalitos:<\/strong><\/p>\n Take a soaked corn husk and shake off excess water. Spread about 2-3 tablespoons of the corn mixture in the center of the husk.<\/p>\n Fold the sides of the husk toward the center, then fold the narrow end up to enclose the tamalito. Repeat with the remaining corn mixture and husks.<\/p>\n Steam the Tamales:<\/strong><\/p>\n Set up a steamer with water and bring to a simmer. Place the tamales upright in the steamer with the open ends facing up.<\/p>\n Cover the tamales with a damp cloth or extra corn husks, then cover with the steamer lid.<\/p>\n Steam for about 45-60 minutes, or until the tamales are firm and the husk peels away easily from the masa. Check the water level occasionally and add more if needed to prevent burning.<\/p>\n Serve:<\/strong><\/p>\n Allow the tamales to cool slightly before serving. They can be enjoyed as is or with a sprinkle of sugar and cinnamon for extra sweetness.<\/p>\n These Tamalitos de Elote<\/em> are soft, sweet, and filled with the natural flavor of corn. Perfect for enjoying with a cup of coffee or as a sweet treat after a meal. \u00a1Disfruta! \ud83c\udf3d\u2728<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Ingredients: 6 fresh corn cobs (kernels removed, about 4 cups) 1 \u00bc cups masa harina (corn flour) 1 stick (\u00bd cup) unsalted butter, softened \u00be cup sugar (adjust for sweetness) 1 tsp baking powder \u00bd tsp salt 1 cup whole milk (or evaporated milk for a richer flavor) Corn husks (soaked in warm water for […]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":5817,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"_uf_show_specific_survey":0,"_uf_disable_surveys":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[7],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-5815","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-mexican-recipes"],"aioseo_notices":[],"aioseo_head":"\n\t\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t
