Ingredients
- 4 pcs sweet corn fresh with cob
- ¼ cup margarine
- ¼ cup powdered milk
- ⅓ cup sugar
- ¾ cup glutinous rice flour
Instructions
- Remove the corn husk and make sure you do not tear them because you will use them as a wrapping for the tamales. Set aside.
- Place the cob standing up and with a sharp knife, cut down the side to remove the kernels. Continue cutting while rotating the corn until all the kernels are removed. You can place the ear of corn inside a large bowl to keep all the kernels from spilling all over while cutting it.
- Using a food processor or blender, process the corn for 3-5 minutes or until smooth and creamy. Transfer into a large bowl and combine the margarine, powdered milk, sugar and glutinous rice flour. Mix until well blended.
- Use the husk and put a heaping tablespoon of corn mixture into the center. If the husk is too small, you may use 2-4 pcs and overlap them to each other. Fold husk lengthwise and bring two ends together.
- Place them into a steamer basket and steam for 20 minutes over boiling water with medium heat. Remove from the steamer and let it cool for 5 minutes. Serve and enjoy!
