Ingredients
2.5 C Instant corn flour1 C sugar1 (14.75)Can of Creamed Corn1 stick unsalted butter (softend).5 C Hot Water1 tsp baking powderabout 20-25 medium sized corn husks
Directions
Soak Corn husks in warm water to soften. approx 30 mins
Cream sugar and butter with mixer, once combined add baking powder and Creamed Corn and mix. Add Corn flour a bit at a time with a lil water to combine till it's all been added.
Remove the corn husks from the water and shake dry. Unfold the husks on a clean surface (discard any small husks or husks with holes). Put about 1/4 cup dough down the center of a husk; fold in the long sides to enclose the filling, then fold in the top and bottom to make a packet. Secure with kitchen twine. Repeat with the remaining dough and husks.

Set up a steamer basket in a large pot filled with 2 inches of water. Arrange the tamales standing up in the steamer and bring the water to a boil over high heat. Reduce the heat to medium, cover and cook until the tamales are firm, about 1 hour. Remove from the steamer and let rest a few minutes before unwrapping.
