Ingredients:
5 tablespoons margarine, softened
1/4 cup masa harina flour
1/3 cup sugar
2 cups corn kernels ( fresh or frozen, thawed)
1/2 cup cornmeal
1/2 cup water
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 tablespoons milk
1 teaspoon milk
Directions:
In a small bowl, mix the margarine, masa and sugar with mixer until light and fluffy, about 1 minute.
Blend 1/2 the corn kernels with the water in a blender until smooth.
Combine with margarine mixture, stirring well.
Add the remaining corn, cornmeal, baking powder, salt and milk.
Bring a medium saucepan of water to a boil.
Pour the mixture into an 8-inch baking dish.
Tightly cover with plastic wrap and set atop the saucepan of boiling water.
Keep pan tightly wrapped and steam for 50 minutes to 1 hour.
Check water level often, until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
I have also made this in the oven, setting the pan in a water bath.
I do not know the temp I had the oven on, or how long I kept it inches If anyone tries it, please add that info.
