Prepare the fresh corn by grinding it into a masa.

In a blender, add a touch of milk and chopped onion.

Blend until smooth, then gradually add more milk to adjust the consistency.

Melt butter and add it to the masa gradually to avoid making it too watery.

Add a pinch of anise and sugar to the masa.

Mix all ingredients well, adjusting with more milk and butter as needed.

Add a pinch of salt to the masa after tasting it.

Separate the egg whites into a separate bowl and add the yolks directly to the masa.

Mix the yolks into the masa thoroughly.

Beat the egg whites until fluffy and fold them into the masa for a lighter texture.

Add one pound of cheese to the masa and mix well.

Wrap the masa in corn husks and prepare for steaming.

Steam the wrapped humitas in a double boiler for about 30 minutes until set.

Check the consistency of the masa; it should not fall apart or be too runny.
