Sweet Corn Tomalito
From krumkake 15 years agoIngredients
- 5 tablespoons butter, softened shopping list
- 1/4 cup masa harina (no substitutes!) shopping list
- 1/3 cup white sugar shopping list
- 1/2 cup water shopping list
- 2 cups frozen whole-kernel corn, thawed shopping list
- 1/2 cup cornmeal shopping list
- 1 teaspoon baking powder shopping list
- 1/2 teaspoon salt shopping list
- 2 TB heavy cream (you can use milk, but nothing beats cream!) shopping list
- cilantro Verde Cream Sauce for drizzle, optional (recipe posted separately: cilantro-verde-cream-sauce.html">cilantro Verde Cream Sauce) shopping list
How to make it
- In a medium bowl, mix together the butter, masa harina and sugar until light and fluffy.
- In a food processor or blender, blend one cup of the corn kernels with the water and cornmeal just until smooth; stir into the masa mixture.
- Mix in the remaining corn, baking powder, salt, and milk until the batter is smooth.
- Pour batter into an 8x8 inch glass baking dish.
- Place the baking dish in a large pan of simmering water, being careful not to let the simmering water run out of the pan when you insert the 8x8 pan.
- Cover the baking dish tightly with aluminum foil, and steam for 50 to 60 minutes, or until firm.
- Check water occasionally, and refill if necessary.
- Stir mixture before serving to give it a consistent texture.
- Serve in small scoops.
- Drizzle with cilantro cream sauce, if desired.
- NOTE - This can also be easily prepared in the microwave - it's the only way I've ever made it. Microwave for 7 minutes at 30% power, then about 4 minutes at 100% power – keep covered while microwaving and stir once halfway through cooking. Stir before serving.
