1

Husk the corn and soak the corn husks in warm water for 30 minutes.

Remove the kernels from the corn cobs using a knife.

3

Blend the corn kernels until smooth, adding a little milk if necessary.

4

In a mixing bowl, combine the blended corn, sugar, butter, salt, baking powder, and vanilla extract.

5

Mix until well combined and the batter is fluffy.

6

Take a soaked corn husk and place a spoonful of the batter in the center.

7

Fold the sides of the husk over the batter and then fold the bottom up to secure it.

8

Repeat until all batter is used and arrange the tamales upright in a steamer pot.

9

Steam the tamales for about 45-60 minutes, or until the batter pulls away from the husk easily.

10

Remove from the steamer and let cool slightly before serving.
