Cooking Instructions
- 1
Soak the dried corn husks in warm water and place a plate on top to keep them submerged until fully softened.
Bring 1 1/2 cups water (about 355 ml) to a boil with the cinnamon stick. Stir in 1/2 cup sugar (about 100 grams) until dissolved, then set aside.
In a mixer, beat 6 tablespoons unsalted butter (about 90 grams, 1 stick) until creamy. Add 1 tablespoon water and 1 teaspoon baking powder.

Prepare the dough by mixing 1 1/2 cups Maseca or Minsa corn flour (about 180 grams) with the cinnamon-sugar water and 1/2 teaspoon salt until you have a soft dough. Add the whipped butter and a few drops of food coloring if desired.
Spread 1 or 2 tablespoons of dough onto each softened corn husk. Add a tablespoon of jam, dried cranberries, raisins, dulce de leche, or sliced canned peaches in the center, as you like.
Steam the tamales in a steamer for 1 hour.
