Prepare the corn husks by cutting only the leaves to use for wrapping the humitas.

Remove the kernels from the corn cobs by cutting them off with a knife.

Use a molino (corn grinder) to grind the corn kernels until smooth.

Heat the butter in a pot until it is hot.

Add 1/2 tablespoon of salt to the melted butter.

Add 1.5 cups of brown sugar to the butter.

Stir in 1 tablespoon of ground cinnamon.

If the corn is too dry, add a little hot water to the mixture to adjust the consistency.

Mix the corn with the butter and sugar mixture thoroughly.

Add optional raisins to the mixture if desired.

Prepare a large pot with a layer of corn husks at the bottom to serve as a base.

Spoon the corn mixture onto the center of each corn husk, adding cheese on top.

Fold the sides of the husk over the filling and tie with strips of husk to secure them.

Place the wrapped humitas in the pot on top of the corn husks.

Cover the humitas with more corn husks and a lid.

Add water to the pot, filling it halfway to create steam.

Bring the water to a boil and steam the humitas for about 1 hour.

Check the humitas to ensure they are cooked through and firm before serving.
