Start by selecting the largest and prettiest corn husks to use for wrapping the humitas.

Remove the silk from the corn and then scrape the kernels off the cob with a knife.

Blend the corn kernels until smooth, ensuring to collect any juice that comes out.

Add chopped onion and garlic to the blended corn for flavor.

Melt butter in a pot and add the blended corn mixture along with honey and salt, mixing well.

Add eggs to the mixture, using six eggs for a large batch of corn.

Mix everything thoroughly, ensuring the mixture is well combined and has a slightly runny texture.

Prepare the corn husks by placing a spoonful of the corn mixture in the center of each husk.

Fold the husks to enclose the mixture, making sure they are sealed properly.

Place the wrapped humitas upright in a steamer pot filled with water, ensuring they are standing for even cooking.

Cover and steam the humitas for about one hour, checking occasionally to ensure they are cooking properly.

After an hour, check the humitas for doneness; they should be firm and cooked through.
