Chevy's Sweet Corn Tamalitos

---

I started seeing this delightful little scoop of heaven on the edge of my plate at a few of the mexican restaurants around town, so i decided make it at home. This recipe is actually the recipe they use at chevy's, which i found published in the local paper.

Steps

---

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.
