Chevy's Sweet Corn Tamalitos image

I started seeing this delightful little scoop of heaven on the edge of my plate at a few of the Mexican restaurants around town, so I decided make it at home. This recipe is actually the recipe they use at Chevy's, which I found published in the local paper.

Categories     Corn

Time 1h10m

Yield 6-8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

5 tablespoons margarine, softened
1/4 cup masa harina flour
1/3 cup sugar
2 cups corn kernels (fresh or frozen, thawed)
1/2 cup cornmeal
1/2 cup water
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 tablespoons milk
1 teaspoon milk

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.
