How to cook Sweet Corn Tamales (Pintos):

  • Mix all ingredients. Prepare fresh husk of young corn.
  • Use husk near the cob as it is the best part and easier to handle.
  • Drop a heaping tablespoon of young corn mixture into middle of corn husk.
  • You may roll husk lengthwise and tie ends or bring two ends together, tie then push mixture to center.
  • Cut corn cobs and arrange at bottom of saucepan to create a bed for pintos. Add water to saucepan.
  • Take care that water does not reach corn mixture or this will dilute pintos and ruin pudding.
  • Steam for 20 minutes. The taste of corn cob adds flavor to pintos.
