Time 1h45m

Yield about 20 tamales

Number Of Ingredients 5

25 to 30 dried corn husks
2 1/2 cups masa harina (instant corn flour)
1 cup sugar
1 14.75-ounce can cream-style corn
1 stick unsalted butter, softened

Steps:

  • Soak the corn husks in a bowl of hot water until pliable, about 15 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, make the dough: Combine the masa harina and sugar in a large bowl. Stir in the corn and 1/2 cup hot water until combined. Add the butter and mix with your hands until evenly distributed.
  • Remove the corn husks from the water and shake dry. Unfold the husks on a clean surface (discard any small husks or husks with holes). Put about 1/4 cup dough down the center of a husk; fold in the long sides to enclose the filling, then fold in the top and bottom to make a packet. Secure with kitchen twine. Repeat with the remaining dough and husks.
  • Set up a steamer basket in a large pot filled with 2 inches of water. Arrange the tamales standing up in the steamer and bring the water to a boil over high heat. Reduce the heat to medium, cover and cook until the tamales are firm, about 1 hour. Remove from the steamer and let rest 10 minutes before unwrapping.

These were so easy to make and they turned out great! I used fresh corn from my garden and it really made a difference in the flavor.

I've made these tamales several times now and they're always a crowd-pleaser. The filling is delicious and the tamales are always moist and flavorful.

These tamales were a hit at my last potluck! The creamed corn filling was creamy and flavorful, and the tamales were cooked perfectly. I will definitely be making these again.
